| Sommario/riassunto: | Dummett defends the verificationist theory of meaning, i.e. to know the meaning of a statement one must be in possession of a procedure to verify it. He also argues for the link between bivalence and the metaphysical doctrine of realism. Other topics include refutation of instrumentalism, mathematical applicability, and more. |
