| Nonfactualism: Nonfactualism is an expression for the assumption that there are no facts with regard to certain decision-making processes. For example, there is no fact that causes the sum of two and two to be four. Nonfactualism is interpreted very differently by different authors. Therefore, the expression is sometimes used polemically. See also truth makers, decidability, facts, truth, deflationism._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Stanley Cavell on Nonfactualism - Dictionary of Arguments
I (c) 234 Fact/Nonfactualism/Meaning/Rule/Wittgenstein/Cavell: there is no fact concerning me that can justify what I say and do beyond what the other, perhaps a child, says and does. >Facts, >Meaning/Intending, >Kripke's Wittgenstein, >Rule following, >Intending/Cavell. But I do not wish to draw a skeptical conclusion from this. I (c) 239 Fact/Nonfactualism/CavellVsKripke: if I said (in the early writings) "there is no reason to share these things with each other (e.g., sense of humor, morality), then that is different than when Kripke says there is "no fact". Cavell: otherwise it would look too much like cognitive deficiency. I (c) 240 In addition, there is no room for the idea of reasons that "run out"._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
