Truth pluralism without domains

چکیده

Abstract Truth pluralists say that truth-bearers in different “discourses”, “domains”, “domains of discourse”, or inquiry” are apt to be true ways – for instance, mathematical discourse ethical is a way ordinary descriptive scientific discourse. Moreover, the notion “domain” often explicitly employed formulating pluralist theories truth. Consequently, attracting increasing attention, both critical and constructive. I argue this red herring. First, identify theoretical role which appeal domains, answer what call “Individuation Problem”: saying determines particular truth-bearer true. Second, need not domains purpose. thus conclude that, despite usual glossing view, there no play pluralist’s theory defuses “Problem Mixed Atomics” allows sidestep potentially intractable disputes about nature domains.

Truth in Mathematics: The Question of Pluralism∗

The discovery of non-Euclidean geometries (in the 19 century) undermined the claim that Euclidean geometry is the one true geometry and instead led to a plurality of geometries no one of which could be said (without qualification) to be “truer” than the others. In a similar spirit many have claimed that the discovery of independence results for arithmetic and set theory (in the 20 century) has ...

Truth-Making without Truth-Makers

The article is primarily concerned with the notion of a truth-maker. An explication for this notion is offered, which relates it to other notions of making something such-andsuch.

This circumstance helps understanding the general me...

The paper’s first main part—which spans Sections 2–4—assesses the best argument for Warrant Infallibilism, the view that only true beliefs can have warrant. I show that this argument’s key premise conflicts with an extremely pl...

Truth without satisfaction

In his famous paper [7], Tarski gave a definition of truth for a formalized language. Unable to perform a direct recursion on the concept itself, he gave a definition in terms of satisfaction. This makes it natural to ask if such an indirect procedure is necessary or whether a definition of truth can be given without using or somehow invoking the concept of satisfaction. The question, as it sta...

Truth Without Detachment

These lectures are based (closely) on a current (in-progress) book project. The general topic concerns truth, paradox, and logic. My aim is to motivate, advance and a defend a new approach within the family of paraconsistent approaches to transparent truth. Specifically, I aim to motivate a ‘detachment-free’ view. In short: we enjoy a transparent truth predicate in a language free of any ‘detac...
