13. Knowledge Criteria / D. Scepticism / 6. Scepticism Critique

2566	You can't debate about whether to have higher standards for the application of words [Rorty]
	Full Idea: The decision about whether to have higher than usual standards for the application of words like "true" or "good" or "red" is, as far as I can see, not a debatable issue.
	From: Richard Rorty (Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature [1980], 6.6)
