Hi all, Phil you asked what my problem is with the concept of alethic truth. The one sentence version of the article is that "alethic truth" is a misnomer for the concept of real essence. (Thanks to Dick for helping me see that this is a good way to sum it up.) I gotta run. But I agree with Jamie (I think) and others that philosophers are not exempt, qua philosophers, from having to make sense of the world. That the relative extent to which a given philosophical position does this is assessed via comparison with an alternative is not unique to philosophy I don't think. r. --- from list bhaskar-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
