Rumfitt on truth-grounds, negation, and vagueness
Philosophical Studies 175 (8):2079-2089 (2018)
Abstract
In The Boundary Stones of Thought, Rumfitt defends classical logic against challenges from intuitionistic mathematics and vagueness, using a semantics of pre-topologies on possibilities, and a topological semantics on predicates, respectively. These semantics are suggestive but the characterizations of negation face difficulties that may undermine their usefulness in Rumfitt’s project.Author's Profile
