摘要: There is a widespread opinion that the realist idea whether proposition true or false typically depends on how things are independently of ourselves bound to turn truth, in Davidson's words, into “something which humans can never legitimately aspire”. This accounts for ongoing popularity “epistemic” theories is, those explain what it (or statement, sentence, have you) be terms some epistemic notion, such as provability, justifiability, verifiability, rational acceptability, warranted assertibility, and so forth, suitably characterized situation. My aim this paper show erroneous (legitimate) epistemological preoccupation with accessibility truth does not warrant rejection intuition at least certain types propositions, radically nonepistemic.
