Truth-conditions and the nature of truth: re-solving mixed conjunctions

摘要

Alethic pluralism, on one version of the view (Wright 1992, 2003), is the idea that truth is to be identified with different properties in different domains of discourse.1 Whilst we operate with a univocal concept of truth, and a uniform truth predicate, the thought is that the truth property changes from one domain to the next. So the truth property for talk about the nature and state of the material world (perhaps correspondence to fact) may be different from the truth property for moral discourse (perhaps coherence or superassertibility).
