Le due verità
Full text linkThe paper aims at identifying similarities and differences between two different ways of using the word "true", on the one hand when it is used to refer to a specific characteristic of what we say or think about, here called "words' truth", on the other when it is used to refer to a characteristic of whatever (as when we say "he is a true friend"), here called "things' truth". The main thesis here defended is that such similarities and differences may be usefully described starting from the feature of truth called "transparency" which is often considered as exclusively pertaining to words' truth

No full textThe main difference between standard Alethic Pluralism and Lynch’s Alethic Functionalism is that while for the former there is no single property which is exemplified by all true truth-bearers, for the latter there is such a property, which has in turn a peculiar relation to other properties: truth is manifested by/immanent in different properties in different domains of discourse. The claim I will defend is that Lynch makes too many theoretical demands on the manifestation relation and this makes it a metaphysical monster, that is to say a relation with mutually inconsistent features. In order to make manifestation a coherent notion one should give up some of its original features, but this makes Alethic Functionalism a much less appealing theory than it was supposed to be
