Abstract

READ, Stephen. Miller, Bradwardine and the truth. discus.filos [online]. 2011, vol.12, n.18, pp.229-235. ISSN 0124-6127.

In a recent article, David Miller has criticised Thomas Bradwardine's theory of truth and signification and my defence of Bradwardine's application of it to the semantic paradoxes. Much of Miller's criticism is sympathetic and helpful in gaining a better understanding of the relationship between Bradwardine's proposed solution to the paradoxes and Alfred Tarski's. But some of Miller's criticisms betray a misunderstanding of crucial aspects of Bradwardine's account of truth and signification.

Keywords : Bradwardine; Miller; Paradox of the Liar; Buridan's theory; theory of truth.
