The Laws of Thought and the Laws of Truth as Two Sides of One Coin
Journal of Philosophical Logic (forthcoming)
Abstract
Some think that logic concerns the "laws of truth"; others that logic concerns the "laws of thought." This paper presents
a way to reconcile both views by building a bridge between truth-maker theory, à la Fine, and normative bilateralism, à la Restall and Ripley. The paper suggests a novel way of understanding consequence in truth-maker theory and shows that this allows us to identify a common structure shared by truth-maker theory and normative bilateralism. We can thus transfer ideas from normative bilateralism to truth-maker theory, such as non-transitive solutions to paradox, and vice versa, such as notions of factual equivalence and containment.
