1. Philosophy / F. Analytic Philosophy / 5. Linguistic Analysis

16512	Semantic facts are preferable to transcendental philosophical fiction [Wiggins]
	Full Idea: Semantical fact is almost always more interesting than transcendental philosophical fiction.
	From: David Wiggins (Sameness and Substance [1980], 3.1 n4)
	A reaction: An interesting expression of a more sophisticated recent allegiance to linguistic philosophy. There is still a strong allegiance to semantics as a major branch of philosophy, despite caution (e.g. from Nathan Salmon) about its scope.
