Problem: if we do not have a fact, we have no meanings anymore! >Facts, >States of affairs, >Nonfactualism. Wittgenstein, late(1): skeptical solution: assertibility conditions instead of truth conditions. >Truth conditions. IV 119f Kripke: the skeptical solution is logically independent of the hyper-skeptical thesis (of the impossibility of language in general) Stegmüller IV 96 Assertibility Conditions/Kripke's Wittgenstein/Stegmüller: this is about assertibility conditions of statements regarding obedience of rules. - But it would be wrong to set as right what seems right. Solution: compliance (namely prior to the rule, not rule prior to agreement). >Rules, >Rule following. 1. L. Wittgenstein.
