First, the article makes the case for a pragmatic "truth pact" in history writing, arguing that the conditions of historical truth depend on the illocutionary force of historical utterance. ...

It seems plausible to read our ontology off a regimented system the truth of which is assessed by whether what it says is, is. But the truth of moral claims is different. ...

This radically negative perspective portrays Gorgias as holding language to be nothing but a persuasion tool, and persuasion nothing but a means for deception. 11 10 This sentence is often interpreted ...
