Up in the Air: Buridan’s Principled Rejection of Grounding
摘要
The fourteenth-century theorist Jean Buridan claimed that in a thoroughly bivalent framework central semantic concepts such as truth and signification are both free of paradox and ungrounded. This paper outlines and defends Buridan’s approach and suggests that it may give reason to think that ungroundedness is not problematic in semantics or in metaphysics.
