Examples

  • Given this disambiguation, the dispute will evaporate. —  Material Constitution
  • Much careful disambiguation is needed before we know how to circumscribe subjectivism, and different philosophers disambiguate differently. —  Moral Anti-Realism
  • On the latter disambiguation, noncognitivism is the pragmatic view that moral judgments are a type of speech act that is neither true nor false, which is equivalent (most assume) to the denial that moral judgments are assertions (i.e., the denial that moral judgments express belief states). —  Moral Anti-Realism
  • On the former disambiguation, noncognitivism is the semantic view that moral judgments are a type of sentence that is neither true nor false, which is equivalent (most assume) to saying that the underlying grammar of the sentence — its logical form — is such that it fails to express a proposition (in the same way as, say, “Is the cat brown?” and “Shut the door!” are sentences that fail to express propositions). —  Moral Anti-Realism
  • Whether it's called quasi-disambiguation or something else, however, I'm convinced that leaping straight into the Bush Administration and Guantanamo is neither encyclopedic nor giving the impression of neutrality. —  Citizendium, the Citizens' Compendium - Recent changes [en]
