dc.description.abstract | Truth within governing systems can come in two forms: judicial and meta-judicial. Judicial facts
arise from verdicts or rulings, whereas meta-judicial facts arise from application of a governing system's
standard in a way that does not involve a judicial verdict or ruling. Not all governing systems require that
meta-judicial facts exist, but all systems that provide a condition that can be applied in a non-subjective
way allow for the more interesting non-subjective cognitivist accounts of meta-judicial fact. Most
governing systems we encounter certainly seem to have conditions that allow for this kind of application.
The fundamental question regards how this meta-judicial fact arises. I have defended response dependence as the most plausible manner in which meta-judicial fact is constituted, after considering the ways in which the more intuitive account of objective constitution fails. | en_US |
