Meaning More: Supplemental
http://kmischutte.blogspot.com/2007/12/supplemental.html
An examination of meaning in language and meaning in action. Monday, December 24, 2007. I'd like to write a few notes about my last journal post. I hope the strategy was obvious: Take the implicit definitions of basic logical terms (or, at least, that minimal group of which the anti-realist approves) and attempt to mirror those definitions with basic ethical terms, in the attempt to explore what an anti-realistic notion of morality might be like. So, here's the vocabulary:. I hold a master's degree in ph...

Meaning More: Dummettian Anti-Realism
http://kmischutte.blogspot.com/2007/07/dummettian-anti-realism.html
An examination of meaning in language and meaning in action. Saturday, July 28, 2007. I find it interesting that realists almost unfailingly present discussions of realism in terms of truth. When, by all anti-realist accounts (and by that I mean Dummett, Wright, and Tennant), meaning. Is the central notion. I think this is disingenuous, and a violation of that great principle of academic writing, that one is to represent one's opponents' views in the best possible light. Quine Principle (4) is due to Dum...

I'm pleased to announce that this blog will be hosting the 62nd Philosophers' Carnival. Submissions can be made by clicking on this link. The mission of this edition of the carnival, should you choose to accept it, is to prove that philosophy is in a better state than it was in 1997. We are posting to blogs, rather than submitting articles to journals". I guess I didn't acc...

An examination of meaning in language and meaning in action. Thursday, April 03, 2008. My Thanks to Brian Leiter. I cannot emphasize more the message that Brian Leiter gives here. Follow Brian Leiter's advice. Even if you ultimately decide to go to a department that has one or some of the kinds of faculty he describes, you should do whatever you can to find out which specific faculty members those are so that you can avoid taking their classes or adopt strategies to compensate. Finally, I should note tha...

An examination of meaning in language and meaning in action. Saturday, October 04, 2008. Variations on Moore's Paradox. When I first got the idea for this post while reading Max Kölbel's Truth Without Objectivity. I went to the internet looking for similar ideas that might help me frame the discussion. I'd like to thank Michael Cholbi and his commenters for their thoughts here. In this post, I wish to examine a few variations on the Moore paradoxical sentence, such as the following:. Has not expressed an...

Meaning More: The Value of Practice
http://kmischutte.blogspot.com/2008/01/value-of-practice.html
An examination of meaning in language and meaning in action. Sunday, January 20, 2008. The Value of Practice. What is the value of logic? By this, I don't mean to ask what the value is to individuals who use logic, but, rather, what is it we expect from logic in the long run. Like, say, over generations)? What is it of which we could always. As in previous posts to this blog, let's now explore what a parallelism for practical norms might be like. Just as with logic, we expect of our norms of practice...

An examination of meaning in language and meaning in action. Sunday, December 16, 2007. The title of this post is intended to reflect the philosophical method I'll be using in this post. It is not intended to reflect the philosophical content of this post. The method is, of course, stipulative or implicit definition. The mimicry in layout is just for fun. *smile* ). 1 An assertion is a way of expressing that something is a certain way, usually by uttering an indicative sentence of a natural language.

http://kmischutte.blogspot.com/2007/12/semantic-anti-realism-and-right-thing.html
An examination of meaning in language and meaning in action. Saturday, December 15, 2007. Semantic anti-realism and the right thing to do. Ultimately, the disagreement amounts to this: (Where X is a theorem of classical logic that isn't also a theorem of intuitionistic logic or where X is a conclusion of a classically sound inference that isn't also intuitionistically sound), the realist is willing to assert:. We can see how X is true, and we can assert that X is true. An interesting contemporary account...

An examination of meaning in language and meaning in action. Tuesday, February 12, 2008. Reflections on Hosting the Philosopher's Carnival.
