| Truth conditions: the conditions under which statements, propositions, assertions, etc. are true are called truth conditions. In order to understand a sentence, according to some theories, it is sufficient to know its truth conditions. (Compare M. Dummett, Ursprünge der analytischen Philosophie Frankfurt, 1992, p. 20). According to these theories, one can understand not only true but also false sentences. See also semantics, sentence meaning, understanding, truth, meaning._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them. Instead, they are intended to give a short introduction to the contributions below. – Lexicon of Arguments. | |||

E. Tugendhat on Truth Conditions - Dictionary of Arguments
I 259 Truth Condition/Tugendhat: Demonstrating the verification rule - show how the claim is verified. >Anti-Realism/Dummett. I 261ff Truth conditions/Tugendhat: the truth conditions lie in the demonstration of the verification rule of the assertion itself. - Then it is absolutely true, no longer rule relative. - One cannot contradict the verification rule if one understands it. - The verification rule itself can only be explained for a particular predicate together with a singular term. >Singular terms, >Predicates. I 262 Verification rule/Tugendhat: not generally assignable - from the usage rule for the singular term and the verification rule of the predicate together. >Truth, >Meaning, >Use. I 267 Truth Conditions/Tugendhat: cannot be explained in turn - only shown. I 281 Truth conditions/Tugendhat: belong to the meaning because objects are not true/false. - Truth conditions explain the sentence only if one knows how it is used. - Lie or deviating use must be avoided. I 290ff Truth conditions/Tugendhat: also sentences have generally no clear truth condition- to know the rules of use of the sentence is not to know the verification rules. >Sentence meaning, >Word meaning._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
