Guises, Comparative Attitudes and Epistemic Modals

It is sometimes thought that the differential impact of co-referring terms within attitude reports can be accounted for by appeal to some kind of covert guise quantification. I examine some recent approaches to guises and explore their logical effects when applied to epistemic modals and comparative attitudes. (This talk will draw on co-authored work by Cian Dorr and myself).
