Thus\, especially in its strong version\, pluralism amounts to the claim that the notion of truth we ordinarily employ is actually directly linked with a plurality of realizer properties. At the same time\, this conceptual unity is normally taken to be mirrored at the linguistic level by the existence of a single truth predicate “True”\, which must then also be characterised in plural terms. However\, although much has been said about the relation between the concept of truth and its realizers\, comparatively little attention has been devoted to the meaning of our ordinary predicate “True” and to model the plurality allegedly appearing in it.  In fact\, if the concept of truth is realized by different properties in different domain\, we should expect that different properties will also be relevant for different truth ascriptions (i.e. for different uses of the term “True”). In this paper I will offer a detailed discussion of various ways of modelling the alleged plurality in the meaning of “True”. First\, I will consider and discard some constant plural semantic accounts\, showing that “True” is importantly variable in meaning. Thene\, I will discuss and also criticise some options for a context-sensitive semantic analysis of this predicate\, showing that “True” is actually insensitive to contexts\, standardly conceived. Finally\, I will conclude this paper by arguing the “True”\, within a strong pluralist picture\, is actually polysemous. \n  URL:/philevents/event/language-and-mind-seminar-stefano-pugnaghi-university-of-st-andrews/ LOCATION:Online Meeting via Teams CATEGORIES:Language and Mind Seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20240423T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20240423T170000 DTSTAMP:20260614T130928 CREATED:20240327T005207Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240408T015515Z UID:10001992-1713884400-1713891600@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:FPST Seminar DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/fpst-seminar-9/ CATEGORIES:Feminist Philosophy and Social Theory END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20240423T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20240423T170000 DTSTAMP:20260614T130928 CREATED:20240409T015539Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240423T035552Z UID:10002014-1713884400-1713891600@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:FPST Seminar – Cael Keegan (Carelton University) [online only] DESCRIPTION:Title: How to do things with ‘trans’ \nAbstract: What is the conceptual formation trans\, and what can it do? While transgender studies is oriented against providing definitive answers\, the field does possess a history and an emergent set of critical tools\, both similar to and yet divergent from the more institutionally embraced field of queer studies. Drawing on Susan Stryker’s characterization of transgender studies as queer theory’s “evil twin\,” this talk explores the critical relation enacted between the two fields: Rather than envisioning them as opposites\, it explores their relation as a fruitful paradox in which each discourse problematizes and yet enlivens the other’s claims. It then demonstrates trans analytics through a reading of John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982).
