Missed It By That Much: Austin on Norms of Truth
نویسنده
چکیده
A principal challenge for a deflationary theory is to explain the value of truth: why we aim for true beliefs, abhor dishonesty, and so on. The problem arises because deflationism sees truth as a mere logical property and the truth predicate as serving primarily as a device of generalization. Paul Horwich, attempts to show how deflationism can account for the value of truth. Drawing on the work of J. L. Austin, I argue that his account, which focuses on belief, cannot adequately accommodate the complex role that truth plays in the norms governing assertion and similar speech acts.

Many hold that it is somehow related to truth, but there are various ways in which one might specify belief’s aim using the notion of truth.

I criticise bi-conditional formulation of the norm ...
