3. Truth / A. Truth Problems / 5. Truth Bearers

6021	It is only when we say a proposition that we speak truly or falsely [Sext.Empiricus]
	Full Idea: It is only when we say a proposition that we speak truly or falsely.
	From: Sextus Empiricus (Against the Professors (six books) [c.180], 8.74)
	A reaction: This makes assertions truth-bearers, rather than propositions. But a proposition can be true or false if it is stamped with a date and/or place. "Shakespeare was born in Stratford on 23rd April 1664". No one needs to assert that.
