I 21
Truth/belief/Prior: Truth cannot only be applied to propositions, but also to belief: logical form: "(X thinks that) p and p" (bracket). - But determination of truth does not ascribe a property to any proposition (always facts are decisive).
>Propositions, >Facts.
A fact is possible without a believed proposition.
>Beliefs, >Thinking.
Problem/Moore: if no one believes that the belief must be false, even if it would be correct if someone believes that!
((s) This is due to non-existence).
PriorVs: this is a misconception of belief as a relation to facts.
>Relation theory.
I 98
Truth/PriorVsTarski: you could also see it as an adverb (quasi-property) instead regarding it as a property: E.g. "when someone says that snow is white, he says it truthfully".
Cf. >Truth/Tarski, >Truth definition/Tarski.
Prior: with me there is no mention, only use.
>Quotation marks, >Quotation/disquotation, >Disquotation scheme, >Mention/use.
Prior: the sentencenly >snow is white" is only about snow, not about truth. - There is no metalanguage.
>Metalanguage.
PriorVsTarski: for me the truth is as much about the things that someone thinks, fears, etc. - Then you can also think that you think something wrong.
>Thinking, >Self-reference.
I 106
Truth/meaning/Buridan: every sentence means that it is true itself (in addition to what else it means).
Prior: we have to admit that a sentence can have several meanings at the same time.
>Meaning, >Sentence meaning, >Ambiguity.
Then the sentence is non-paradoxically wrong (contradictorily) if it is to mean that it is wrong. - But there is no "secondary meaning" and "principle B".
Cf. >Paradoxes.
