A Note on Assertion, Relativism and Future Contingents
Logos and Episteme 3 (1):139-144 (2012)
Abstract
I argue that John MacFarlane's attempt to reconcile his proposed truthrelativist account of future contingents with a plausible account of assertion is self-defeating. Specifically, a paradoxical result of MacFarlane's view is that assertions of future contingents are impermissible for anyone who already accepts MacFarlane's own truth-relativist account of future contingents.Author's Profile
