Thomas Hobbes's Doctrine of Meaning and Truth
Philosophy 31 (116):3 - 22 (1956)
Abstract
It is generally acknowledged that Hobbes's radical scepticism is intimately connected with his nominalism, and that his nominalism in turn rests upon the doctrine of meaning and truth set out in its best-known version in Chapters 4 and 5 of LeviathanMy notes
