A report on Truth-bearer, Truth and Proposition
The thesis that some things are true while others are false has led to different theories about the nature of these entities.
- Truth-bearerIn everyday language, truth is typically ascribed to things that aim to represent reality or otherwise correspond to it, such as beliefs, propositions, and declarative sentences.
- TruthEquivalently, a proposition is the non-linguistic bearer of truth or falsity which makes any sentence that expresses it either true or false.
- PropositionTruth-bearer candidates include propositions, sentences, sentence-tokens, statements, beliefs, thoughts, intuitions, utterances, and judgements but different authors exclude one or more of these, deny their existence, argue that they are true only in a derivative sense, assert or assume that the terms are synonymous,
- Truth-bearerIdentifying things are truth-bearers and are therefore capable of being true or false.
