| Abstract | The article assesses Chad Hansen's arguments that both early and later Moist texts apply only pragmatic, not semantic, terms of evaluation and treat "appropriate word or language usage," not semantic truth. I argue that the early Moist "three standards" are indeed criteria of a general notion of correct dao (way), not specifically of truth. However, as I explain, their application may include questions of truth. I show in detail how later Moist texts employ terms with the same expressive role as " is true." Thus, contra Hansen, the Moists can justifiably be said to have a concept of semantic truth. © 2012 Journal of Chinese Philosophy. |
