Abstract
In a recent paper Berto introduces a semantic system for a logic of
imagination, intended as positive conceivability, and aboutness of imaginative
acts. This system crucially adopts elements of both the semantics
of conditionals and the semantics of analytical implications in order to
account for the central logical traits of the notion of truth in an act of
imagination based on an explicit input. The main problem left unsolved
is to put forward a complete set of axioms for the proposed system. In the
present paper I offer a solution to this problem by providing a complete
axiomatization of a generalization of the original semantics. The difficulty
in proving completeness lies in the fact that the modalities that capture
the notion of truth in an act of imagination are neither standard nor minimal,
so that the construction of the canonical model and the proof of the
truth lemma are to be substantially modified.
