M. Dummett on Future - Dictionary of Arguments
II 86 Real future/Dummett: sentences about the future, true or false, depending on what happens in the future. Improper future: sentences about current tendencies: whether true or false depends on the current assertability conditions. - If the present tense form is decidable, then the truth conditions are manifestable by the speaker. >Manifestation, >Assertibility. Compound sentences about the future: make distinction truth/assertibility necessary - e.g. antecedent in conditional -> Extension of the truth conditions by correctness/incorrectness. - - - III (d) 167 Future/Law of the Excluded Middle/Dummett: the law applies here as well - otherwise one would have to deny real future and allow only improper future: only current tendencies. III (d) 175 Knowledge/Future/Dummett: There are two types of advance knowledge: 1) the prediction based on causal laws 2) Knowledge by intention. If I believe I can predict the non-happening of an event, I cannot also believe I can contribute something to bring it about without falling into contradictions. _____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
