H. Reichenbach on Implication - Dictionary of Arguments
Geach I 197 Implication/GeachVsReichenbach: "Quasi-implication" is scientifically useless because we can only know pϑq when we know that q "holds" - ("holds": not assertible, not true). >Assertibility, >Truth, >Knowledge. Reichenbach: "when the measurement M is performed, the device will display the value q1." GeachVs: that is scientifically useless - it is also an absurd result: "When the measurement is performed, the measurement is performed" is here not a tautology. >Tautology. Geach: But even non-truth-functional repetitions are tautologies. >Truth functions, >Measurements._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
