L. AUSTIN’S AND JOHN R. SEARLE’S CONCEPTION OF TRUTH
Keywords:
truth, theories of truth, the correspondence theory of truth, philosophy of languageAbstract
John L. Austin’s and John R. Searle’s Conception of Truth. One of the oldest and most accepted theories of truth is the correspondence theory of truth. I argue that both John L. Austin and John R. Searle accept the correspondence theory of truth, and I present the theory accepted by them. I also present the implications of the acceptance of this theory of truth in relation to their philosophy of language.
