3. Truth / A. Truth Problems / 1. Truth
16330
|
Truth-value 'gluts' allow two truth values together; 'gaps' give a partial conception of truth [Halbach]
|
16339
|
Truth axioms prove objects exist, so truth doesn't seem to be a logical notion [Halbach]
|
3. Truth / A. Truth Problems / 2. Defining Truth
16324
|
Any definition of truth requires a metalanguage [Halbach]
|
16293
|
Traditional definitions of truth often make it more obscure, rather than less [Halbach]
|
16301
|
If people have big doubts about truth, a definition might give it more credibility [Halbach]
|
3. Truth / F. Semantic Truth / 1. Tarski's Truth / c. Meta-language for truth
16297
|
Semantic theories avoid Tarski's Theorem by sticking to a sublanguage [Halbach]
|
3. Truth / F. Semantic Truth / 2. Semantic Truth
16337
|
Disquotational truth theories are short of deductive power [Halbach]
|
3. Truth / G. Axiomatic Truth / 1. Axiomatic Truth
16322
|
CT proves PA consistent, which PA can't do on its own, so CT is not conservative over PA [Halbach]
|
16294
|
Axiomatic truth doesn't presuppose a truth-definition, though it could admit it at a later stage [Halbach]
|
16326
|
The main semantic theories of truth are Kripke's theory, and revisions semantics [Halbach]
|
16311
|
To axiomatise Tarski's truth definition, we need a binary predicate for his 'satisfaction' [Halbach]
|
16318
|
Compositional Truth CT has the truth of a sentence depending of the semantic values of its constituents [Halbach]
|
16299
|
Gödel numbering means a theory of truth can use Peano Arithmetic as its base theory [Halbach]
|
16340
|
Truth axioms need a base theory, because that is where truth issues arise [Halbach]
|
16305
|
We know a complete axiomatisation of truth is not feasible [Halbach]
|
16313
|
A theory is 'conservative' if it adds no new theorems to its base theory [Halbach, by PG]
|
16315
|
The Tarski Biconditional theory TB is Peano Arithmetic, plus truth, plus all Tarski bi-conditionals [Halbach]
|
16314
|
Theories of truth are 'typed' (truth can't apply to sentences containing 'true'), or 'type-free' [Halbach]
|
3. Truth / G. Axiomatic Truth / 2. FS Truth Axioms
16327
|
Friedman-Sheard is type-free Compositional Truth, with two inference rules for truth [Halbach]
|
3. Truth / G. Axiomatic Truth / 3. KF Truth Axioms
16329
|
Kripke-Feferman theory KF axiomatises Kripke fixed-points, with Strong Kleene logic with gluts [Halbach]
|
16332
|
The KF theory is useful, but it is not a theory containing its own truth predicate [Halbach]
|
16331
|
The KF is much stronger deductively than FS, which relies on classical truth [Halbach]
|
3. Truth / H. Deflationary Truth / 2. Deflationary Truth
16319
|
Compositional Truth CT proves generalisations, so is preferred in discussions of deflationism [Halbach]
|
16320
|
Some say deflationism is axioms which are conservative over the base theory [Halbach]
|
16338
|
Deflationism says truth is a disquotation device to express generalisations, adding no new knowledge [Halbach]
|
16317
|
The main problem for deflationists is they can express generalisations, but not prove them [Halbach]
|
16316
|
Deflationists say truth is just for expressing infinite conjunctions or generalisations [Halbach]
