Truth in Virtue of Meaning: A Defence of the Analytic / Synthetic Distinction
Russell, Gillian (Washington University in St Louis)
The distinction between analytic and synthetic sentences - the idea that some sentences are true or false just in virtue of what they mean - is a famous focus of philosophical controversy. Gillian Russell reinvigorates the debate with a challenging new defence of the distinction, showing that it is compatible with semantic externalism.
