ABSTRACT The doctrine of the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist presents a particular challenge to its defenders: how is it so much as intelligible? This paper explores Dummett’s response to this question, centred on the notion of deeming. Whilst instructive, Dummett’s position is unsustainable as it stands, since it fails to secure the meaningfulness of the doctrine. Once deeming is brought together with an account of bodiliness and an appreciation of the nature of the Eucharist as a meal, however, the way is open to demonstrating the intelligibility of the doctrine. This is a prerequisite even for its rejection as false.

阐明圣体圣事

摘要在圣体圣事中，基督真正存在的学说给捍卫者带来了特殊的挑战：它的可理解性如何？本文围绕“推崇”的概念，探讨了达米特对这个问题的回应。尽管具有启发性，但达米特的立场无法维持现状，因为它无法确保该学说的意义。一旦考虑到对身体的了解和对圣餐圣餐的本质的理解，就可以考虑证明该学说的可理解性。即使被拒绝为假，这也是前提。
