Most philosophers have largely downplayed any relevance of multiple meanings of the folk concept of truth in the empirical domain. However, confusions about what truth is have surged in political and everyday discourse. In order to resolve these confusions, we argue that we need a more accurate picture of how the term ‘true’ is in fact used. Our experimental studies reveal that the use of ‘true’ shows substantial variance within the empirical domain, indicating that ‘true’ is ambiguous between a correspondence and a coherence reading. We then explore the consequences of these results for the project of re-engineering truth.

真理的实证研究与真理再造工程

大多数哲学家在很大程度上淡化了经验领域中民间真理概念的多重含义的任何相关性。然而，关于什么是真理的困惑在政治和日常话语中激增。为了解决这些混淆，我们认为我们需要更准确地了解“真实”一词实际上是如何使用的。我们的实验研究表明，“真实”的使用在经验范围内显示出很大的差异，表明“真实”在对应和连贯阅读之间是模棱两可的。然后，我们探讨这些结果对再造真理项目的影响。
