disquotation

But if Converse disquotation is rejected and Converse disquotation* is adopted in its place, then Lois's acceptance patterns do not entail the contradictory, given naive Russellianism, (1) and (3). (3) is simply false.

By virtue of knowing the meaning of ˜refers™ and the meaning of quotation marks, I know that disquotation can be correctly applied to any successfully referring term of my language, in the way that (B*) indicates for my word ˜tree™.

Putnam's semantic externalist picture is this: if I am an non-BIV (speaking English) then (T) is the correct statement of the truth conditions of my sentence ˜I am a BIV™, using the device of disquotation; but if instead I am a BIV (speaking vat-English), then the correct statement of my sentence's truth conditions is the strange one given in (b) of DA, not using the device of disquotation.

(B*), don't I need to know that I am a non-BIV (speaking English), so that I can use the device of disquotation in stating the referents of my words (if they do have referents at all)?

The deflationist will then propose that the truth predicate, given by the Tarski biconditionals, is an additional device, not for understanding content, but for disquotation.

Rather, it offers a number of disquotation clauses, such as:

Deflationists typically note that the truth predicate provides us with a convenient device of disquotation.

And suppose he instead believes that truth is simply a formal operation of disquotation or some such and that reason was not 'made' for anything. posted by Brandon | 12:03 AM

Then, given the converse disquotation principle, we get (32).
