Absolute Terms/Skepticism/Peter Unger/Stroud: Def absolute terms/Unger: Example "flat", "empty": these are used legitimately (assertibility) in many situations even if they are not literally true.
>Literal truth.
This shows that there is no obstacle for our use and understanding of these terms. - Also "safe", for example.
StroudVsUnger: pro: this relation between meaning and use can defend skepticism, but weaker than Descartes' dream argument.
>Descartes, >Skepticism, >Meaning, >Use.
StroudVsUnger: the assumption of absolute expressions is superfluous.},
