| Criteria: Criteria do not follow from a definition but must be developed. The criteria for the application of a concept to an object are more concerned with language practice in a community. E.g. the definition of truth does not provide a criterion for which sentences are true._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them. Instead, they are intended to give a short introduction to the contributions below. – Lexicon of Arguments. | |||

Nicholas Rescher on Criteria - Dictionary of Arguments
In: Skirbekk, Wahrheitstheorien Frankfurt/M 1996 I 341 Def Guaranteeing criterion/Rescher: a guaranteeing criterion logically excludes the absence of features - E.g. triangularity guarantees three-sidedness. >Properties, >Features, >Definitions, >Definability. Def Entitling criterion: an entitling criterion is given if compliance is at best a rational justification, probable confirmation. >Justification, >Confirmation, >Satisfaction. Question: what is the relationship between "corresponds to the criterion for X" and "is actually an X "? I 349 Criterion/Truth/Rescher: Problem: truth is not homogeneous - no single criterion is possible. >Truth. I 353 Since a criterion need not be linked to a definition, there is a potential gap between the correspondence with the criterion and with a definition I 378 Criterion/Truth/Rescher: truth is not the starting point, but the objective. I 379 I.e. the criterion assumes a coherence under internal orientation. Coherence: Coherence is the key criterion. >Coherence. Problem: what conclusions should be drawn from an inconsistent set? >Contradictions. I 384 There is no criterion that shows that no statement of an empirical theory is false. >Completeness, >Theories._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
