Logical Inferentialism - The Bad

Posted on Sat 21 April 2018

The inferentialist account is bites with several orthodoxies in philosophy: - Truth as more basic than Proof - Truth as bivalent - The analysis of logical consequence in terms of truth (necessary truth-preservation) - Meaning=truth-conditions - yields just intuitionistic logic; inferentialist analysis of truth leave truth as an epistemic notion. - Fails to explain the referential/denotational aspect of meaning.
