In this paper I ask: can we consistently hold that logic is both non-neutral and non-normative when it comes to logics for normative sentences? (e.g. deontic logics.) If these fail to be neutral won’t they commit themselves on questions of substantive normative theory? That would seem to make logic—at least this part of it—normative after all.

In this paper I argue that purportedly unentitled claiming is likely to be far more prevalent than we might think in such a practice\, and that in many of these cases challenging will not be an appropriate or efficient way to respond to a claim judged not to be entitled. I develop an alternative account of how speakers might respond to unentitled assertions\, by attempting to take on the perspective of the unentitled claimant\, and show how the abilities required to engage in this alternative practice are already presupposed by Brandom’s account of the ADP. I also show how my account provides us with insights into the development of further reasoning practices of a more or less desirable character\, including abduction\, rationalisation and compartmentalisation.

Descriptivists assume that the predicate serves to describe a property\, which propositions possess if they correspond to the right sort of facts in the world. Pragmatists and deflationists have suggested instead that the truth predicate plays useful roles in encouraging debate and friction or enabling us to form generalizations. This paper argues draws on work in systemic functional linguistics to develop a step-by-step account of the functions served through different grammatical developments: having practices of acceptance and rejection of propositions\, introducing a truth predicate\, and finally introducing a noun for ‘truth’. The resulting view gives us a way of justifying some prior pragmatic and deflationary suggestions\, while also showing that their views about the function of truth talk are compatible and may form different parts of a more complete picture.  URL:/philevents/event/metaphysics-logic-seminar-amie-thomasson-yeah-to-truth-or-the-functions-of-truth-talk/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe G03 CATEGORIES:Metaphysics and Logic group END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260624T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260624T170000 DTSTAMP:20260614T210823Z CREATED:20260326T222448Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260614T210823Z UID:10002809-1782313200-1782320400@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Metaphysics & Logic Seminar DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/metaphysics-logic-seminar-24/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe G03 CATEGORIES:Metaphysics and Logic group END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260625T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260625T170000 DTSTAMP:20260625T213807Z CREATED:20260615T212327Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260625T213807Z UID:10002914-1782399600-1782406800@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Metaphysics and Logic & Philosophy of Language: Joint Seminar: Presenter: Salvatore Florio DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Salvatore Florio URL:/philevents/event/metaphysics-logic-seminar-no-ml-this-week/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe 104\, University of 58Թ\, 58Թ\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Metaphysics and Logic group END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
