Abstract

Abstract Rejects several arguments for the claim that a theory of meaning ought to take the form of a theory of truth. Sketches a conceptual role semantics in which the meanings of logical constants are determined in large part by implications involving those logical constants, where implication is to be explained in terms of truth. Although truth‐conditions are sometimes relevant to meaning, this is only the case for the meanings of logical constants.
