Document Details : Title: The Meaning of Absurdity Author(s): VALTONEN, Pasi Journal: Logique et Analyse Volume: 239 Date: 2017 Pages: 375-388 DOI: 10.2143/LEA.239.0.3237160 Abstract : According to Panu Raatikainen, logical inferentialism cannot solve Carnap’s problem, unlike its model-theoretic rival. In their reply, Julien Murzi and Ole Thomassen Hjortland show that intuitionistic inferentialists like Dummett and Prawitz can handle the problem but remain sceptical about a classical inferentialist solution. This paper reveals some problems with their solution due to Prawitz’s and Dummett’s view of absurdity. I offer a Tennant-style paraconsistent view of absurdity. It not only solves the exposed problems in intuitionistic solution but also contributes to the classical inferentialist solution. |
