Download or read book The Meaning of 'ought' written by Matthew Chrisman and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2016 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book motivates a novel inferentialist account of the meaning of a core set of normative sentences. Building on a careful truth-conditionalist semantics for 'ought' considered as a modal word, Chrisman argues that ought-sentences mean what they do neither because of how they describe reality nor because of the noncognitive attitudes they express, but because of their inferential role.
