Abstract

Abstract It is usually maintained that a subject with manifestly contradictory beliefs is irrational. How can we account, then, for the intuitive rationality of dialetheists, who believe that some manifest contradictions are true? My paper aims to answer this question. Its ultimate goal is to determine a characterization of (or rather a constraint for) rational belief approvable by both the theorists of Dialetheism and its opponents. In order to achieve this goal, a two-step strategy will be adopted. First, a characterization of rational belief applicable to non-dialetheist believers will be determined; this characterization will involve the semantic apparatus of Nathan Salmon’s Millian Russellianism but will get rid of the problematic and obscure notion of mode of presentation (guise in his own terminology), replacing it with a couple of novel devices, belief subsystems and cognitive coordination. Second, using ideas from Graham Priest, the leading proponent of Dialetheism, such a characterization will be modified, so as to devise a new one able to account for the intuitive rationality of both dialetheist and non-dialetheist believers.

理性信仰与双神论

摘要人们通常认为，一个具有明显矛盾信念的主体是非理性的。那么，我们如何解释辩证主义者的直觉理性，他们认为一些明显的矛盾是真实的？我的论文旨在回答这个问题。它的最终目标是确定一种理性信仰的特征（或者更确切地说是一种约束），这种特征得到迪亚莱斯主义理论家及其反对者的认可。为了实现这一目标，将采取两步走的战略。首先，将确定适用于非辩证主义信徒的理性信仰的特征；这种表征将涉及Nathan Salmon的Millian Russellianism的语义装置，但将摆脱有问题和晦涩的呈现模式概念（他自己的术语中的伪装），取而代之的是一些新颖的装置、信念子系统和认知协调。第二，使用Dialeseis的主要支持者Graham Priest的思想，将对这种描述进行修改，从而设计出一种新的描述，能够解释辩证主义和非辩证主义信徒的直觉理性。

期刊介绍： Intercultural Pragmatics is a fully peer-reviewed forum for theoretical and applied pragmatics research. The goal of the journal is to promote the development and understanding of pragmatic theory and intercultural competence by publishing research that focuses on general theoretical issues, more than one language and culture, or varieties of one language. Intercultural Pragmatics encourages ‘interculturality’ both within the discipline and in pragmatic research. It supports interaction and scholarly debate between researchers representing different subfields of pragmatics including the linguistic, cognitive, social, and interlanguage paradigms. The intercultural perspective is relevant not only to each line of research within pragmatics but also extends to several other disciplines such as anthropology, theoretical and applied linguistics, psychology, communication, sociolinguistics, second language acquisition, and bi- and multilingualism. Intercultural Pragmatics makes a special effort to cross disciplinary boundaries. What we primarily look for is innovative approaches and ideas that do not always fit into existing paradigms, and lead to new ways of thinking about language. Intercultural Pragmatics has always encouraged the publication of theoretical papers including linguistic and philosophical pragmatics that are very important for research in intercultural pragmatics.
