Abstract

Abstract The positivists defined analyticity as truth in virtue of meaning alone and advocated the view that the notion of analyticity so defined is co-extensive with both the notion of an a priori truth and that of a necessary truth. For a number of reasons, this notion of analyticity is nowadays held to be untenable, and the related doctrines about a priori truths and necessary truths are almost unanimously rejected. Against this consensus, I will argue that, if correctly understood, the positivists’ version of the analytic/synthetic distinction is defensible. Moreover, I will propose partial and somewhat qualified defences of their linguistic doctrines about a priori truths and necessary truths.

重新思考意义中的真理

摘要实证主义者仅凭意义将分析性定义为真理，并主张这样定义的分析性概念与先验真理和必要真理的概念都是广泛的。由于许多原因，这种分析性的概念如今被认为是站不住脚的，关于先验真理和必要真理的相关学说几乎被一致拒绝。反对这一共识，我认为，如果正确理解，实证主义者对分析/综合区别的说法是可以辩护的。此外，我将对他们关于先验真理和必要真理的语言学说提出部分和有条件的辩护。
