Definition and Dispute

A Defense of Temporal Externalism

Beschreibung

Derek Ball argues that disputes about matters of definition are not just about the meanings of words or our concepts, and they do not typically involve change of meaning. Instead, engaging in an investigation or a discussion helps determine the meanings of our words without changing them; what is determined is the meaning our words had all along.
