I 195
Assertiveness/Rorty: if assertions are justified by community, not by the character of the inner episodes, it makes no sense to want to isolate privileged ideas.
>Truth, >Experience, >Convention.
I 196/197
Truth/justified assertibility/Rorty: (Dewey). Sellars, Quine, Chisholm, and many others intend to make truth more than this humble approach.
>Dewey, >Wilfrid Sellars, >Quine, >Chisholm, >Pragmatism.
I 306
Reasonable assertiveness/Putnam/Rorty: if you withdraw to it, you can say that "X is gold" could be claimed in Archimedes' time in a well-founded way and today it is no longer possible to claim it in a well-founded way. But the statement that X was in the extension of gold should be rejected as senseless, as should the statement that "X is gold" was true.
>de re/ >de dicto.
I 329
Assertiveness/Brandom/Rorty: in addition to the term "assertiveness" we need "true" for the pure philosophy of language. This is for understanding how language works, as opposed to understanding how it spreads to the world.

VI 72
Justifiable/assertiveness/RortyVsState of affairs: the majority can surely also be wrong. So that it might turn out later that something was not true. But therefore not justified?
>Theory change, >Meaning change.
