OK then, true =A31, and truth =A32.
I was interested in John's explanation as I have never really heard a
decent refutation of the idea that denying that there is truth involves a
performative contradiction.
Although I found John's post interesting and helpful I am still left with
the question of, what then does true =A31 mean?
Does it mean reasonable to say?
Does it mean useful to say in the circumstances?
Does it mean persuasive?
or what?
cheers,
alan
