He also argues for the link between bivalence and the metaphysical doctrine of realism. Other topics include refutation of instrumentalism, mathematical applicability, and more.Language and languagesPhilosophyMetaphysicsLanguage and languagesPhilosophy.Metaphysics.121/.68Dummett Michael1925-2011.46435MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810446203321Seas of language105593UNINA
