    Truth Predicates —

    One of the first questions to be asked in this setting concerns the relationship between the significant performance and its reflective critique. If one expresses oneself in a particular fashion, and someone says “that’s true”, is there anything useful at all to be said in general terms about the relationship between those two acts? For instance, does the critique add value to the expression criticized, does it say something significant in its own right, or is it but an insubstantial echo of the original sign?

  6. Pragmatic Truth • 3.1
    inquiryintoinquiry.com/2024/07

    Truth Predicates —

    An inquiry into the character of truth generally begins with the idea of an informative, meaningful, or significant element, the goodness of whose information, meaning, or significance may be put in question and needs to be evaluated. Depending on context, the element may be called an artefact, expression, image, impression, lyric, mark, performance, picture, sentence, sign, string, symbol, text, thought, token, utterance, word, work, and so on. However that may be, one has the task of judging whether the bearers of information, meaning, or significance are indeed truth‑bearers or not. That judgment is typically expressed in the form of a specific “truth predicate”, whose positive application to a sign, or so on, asserts the truth of the sign.

    Considered within the broadest horizon, there is little reason to imagine the process of judging a work, which leads to a predication of false or true, is necessarily amenable to formalization, and that task may always remain what is commonly called a judgment call. But there are many well-circumscribed domains where it is useful to consider disciplined forms of evaluation and the observation of those limits allows for the institution of what is called a “method” of judging truth and falsity.

    Truth as the Good of Logic —

    Pragmatic theories of truth enter on a stage set by the philosophies of former ages, with special reference to the Ancient Greeks, the Scholastics, and Immanuel Kant. Recalling a few elements of that background can provide valuable insight into the play of ideas as they have developed up through our time. Because pragmatic ideas about truth are often confused with a number of quite distinct notions it is useful say a few words about those other theories and to highlight the points of significant contrast.

    In one classical formulation, truth is defined as the good of logic, where logic is classed as a normative science, in other words, an inquiry into a good or value which seeks to arrive at knowledge of it and the means to achieve it. In that view, truth cannot be discussed to much effect outside the context of inquiry, knowledge, and logic, all very broadly conceived.

    Questions about the “pragmatic conception of truth” have broken out in several quarters, asking in effect, “What conceptions of truth arise most naturally from and are best suited to pragmatic ways of thinking?” My best thoughts on that score were written out quite a few years ago, in an article I originally wrote for Wikipedia. I haven't dared look at what's become of it on that site — linked below is my current fork on another wiki.

    Pragmatic Theory Of Truth
    oeis.org/wiki/Pragmatic_Theory

    It begins as follows …

    ❝“Pragmatic theory of truth” refers to those accounts, definitions, and theories of the concept “truth” distinguishing the philosophies of pragmatism and pragmaticism. The conception of truth in question varies along lines reflecting the influence of several thinkers, initially and notably, Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, and John Dewey, but a number of common features can be identified.

    ❝The most characteristic features are (1) a reliance on the “pragmatic maxim” as a means of clarifying the meanings of difficult concepts, truth in particular, and (2) an emphasis on the fact that the product variously branded as belief, certainty, knowledge, or truth is the result of a process, namely, “inquiry”.❞

    Et sic deinceps …
