| hard cases for combining expressivism and deflationist truth: conditionals and epistemic modals | |
| Συγγραφέας: Mark Schroeder Mark Schroeder: hard cases for combining expressivism and deflationist truth: conditionals and epistemic modals (pdf, 22 pages) In  this  paper  I  will  be  concerned  with  the  question  as  to  whether  expressivist  theories  of  meaning  can coherently be combined with deflationist theories of truth.  After outlining what I take expressivism to be and  what  I  take  deflationism  about  truth  to  be,  I’ll  explain  why  I  don’t  take  the  general  version  of  this question to be very hard, and why the answer is ‘yes’.  Having settled that, I’ll move on to what I take to be a  more  pressing  and  interesting  version  of  the  question,  arising  from  a  prima  facie  tension  between deflationism about truth and the motivations underlying expressivism for what I take to be two of its most promising applications: to indicative conditionals and epistemic modals.  Here I’ll argue that the challenge is substantive, but that there is no conceptual obstacle to its being met, provided that one’s expressivism takes the right form. | |
