He also argues for the link between bivalence and the metaphysical doctrine of realism. Other topics include refutation of instrumentalism, mathematical applicability, and more. 606 $aLanguage and languages$xPhilosophy 606 $aMetaphysics 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aMetaphysics. 676 $a121/.68 700 $aDummett$b Michael$f1925-2011.$046435 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810446203321 996 $aSeas of language$9105593 997 $aUNINA
