Conventionalism about mathematics and logic
Conventionalism about mathematics has much in common with two other views: fictionalism and the multiverse view ( aka plenitudinous platonism). The three views may differ over the existence of mathematical objects, but they agree in rejecting a certain kind of objectivity claim about mathematics, advocating instead an extreme pluralism. The early parts of the paper will try to elucidate this anti‐objectivist position, and question whether convent…

Saving Truth From Paradox
The book is an opinionated survey of philosophical work on paradoxes of truth and of related notions, such as property-instantiation, with occasional forays into related topics such as vagueness, the nature of validity, and the Gödel incompleteness theorems. It advocates a particular approach, according to which the paradoxes are to be resolved by the adoption of a non-classical logic: a logic in which excluded middle is restricted. (The logic is…
Maudlin's Truth and Paradox
The Consistency of The Naive Theory of Properties
According to the Naive Theory of Properties, for every predicate Θ(x) there is a corresponding property λxΘ(x). Moreover, this property λxΘ(x) is instantiated by an object o if and only if Θ(o). More generally, the Naive Theory involves the following "Naive Comprehension Schema"

Truth and the Absence of Fact
This is a collection of papers, written over many years, with substantial postscripts tying them together and giving an updated perspective on them. The first five are on the notions of truth and truth‐conditions, and their role in a theory of meaning and of the content of our mental states. The next five deal with what I call ‘factually defective discourse’—discourse that gives rise to issues about which, it is tempting to say that, there is no …

Disquotational Truth and Factually Defective Discourse
Robert Stalnaker, Inquiry
This is an interesting, well argued, and highly readable book; anyone interested in the central philosophical problems with which it deals will benefit from studying it. Stalnaker defines inquiry as the process of forming, testing, and revising beliefs. His goal is to lay the groundwork for a theory of inquiry, by elaborating and defending a certain apparatus in terms of which the process of inquiry should be described

A Note on Jeffrey Conditionalization
Bayesian decision theory can be viewed as the core of psychological theory for idealized agents. To get a complete psychological theory for such agents, you have to supplement it with input and output laws. On a Bayesian theory that employs strict conditionalization, the input laws are easy to give. On a Bayesian theory that employs Jeffrey conditionalization, there appears to be a considerable problem with giving the input laws. However, Jeffrey…
