Truth and multiple realizability
Australasian Journal of Philosophy 82 (3):384 – 408 (2004)
| Abstract | Pluralism about truth is the view that there is more than one way for a proposition to be true. When taken to imply that there is more than one concept and property of truth, this position faces a number of troubling objections. I argue that we can overcome these objections, and yet retain pluralism's key insight, by taking truth to be a multiply realizable property of propositions. | |||||||||
