Ori Simchen is a Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of British Columbia. His research interests lie primarily in the fields of philosophy of language and metaphysics, along with significant engagement in the philosophy of law. He is the author of several books, including 'Necessary Intentionality' published by Oxford University Press in 2012 and republished in paperback in 2015, where he explores central themes of modality and cognitive matters, particularly focusing on intentionality and aboutness. His subsequent work, 'Semantics, Metasemantics, Aboutness,' published in 2017, investigates the relationship between metasemantics and truth-conditional semantics, providing an extensive response to the challenge of semantic indeterminacy. His courses often grapple with issues surrounding aboutness, aiming to refine semantic theory through theoretical representations of represented subject matters in the study of language.
