During the next three weeks, we will discuss material from Derek Ball\u2019s book manuscript.<\/p>\n
Abstract: These are two introductory chapters from a book manuscript I\u2019m working on, entitled Definition and Dispute.\u00a0 The first chapter introduces some main themes of the book, and the second develops the leading idea: that the best way of making sense of a wide range of disputes, including many philosophical disputes, is to adopt a view on which the meanings of our words (and the contents of our thoughts) are determined in the course of inquiry, but without change of meaning, so that our views at the end of an inquiry play a role in determining what we meant all along.\u00a0 Chapter 2 defends the view by criticising a prominent alternative \u2014 the idea that such disputes are matters of \u201cmetalinguistic negotiation\u201d \u2014 and developing a view of definition that makes sense of what is at issue in these disputes and how we argue.<\/p>\n
