19. Language / A. Nature of Meaning / 5. Meaning as Verification

8193	Verification is not an individual but a collective activity [Dummett]
	Full Idea: Verification is not an individual but a collective activity.
	From: Michael Dummett (Truth and the Past [2001], 3)
	A reaction: This generates problems. Are deceased members of the community included? (Yes, says Dummett). If someone speaks to angels (Blake!), do they get included? Is a majority necessary? What of weird loners? Etc.
