@article {song_g2011:2353, title = {The Nature of Assertoric-Force and the Truth in Logic: An Elucidation of Fregean Truth in the Light of Husserl{\textquoteright}s Theory of Doxic-Modification}, journal = {Organon F}, volume = {18}, number = {4}, year = {2011}, pages = {423-446}, type = {State}, abstract = {The unique relation between logic and truth (protorelation) is crucial for understanding Fregean conception of logic. Frege has an insight that the nature of logic resides in the {\textquotedblleft}truth{\textquotedblleft}, which he finally locates in the assertoric-force of a sentence. Though Frege admits that assertoric-force is ineffable in ordinary language, he coins in his conceptual notation for such a force a much-disputed sign, i.e., judgment-stroke. In this paper, I will try to demonstrate that judgment-stroke is not adequate for the task its inventor has assigned to it. Accordingly, it is misconceived and inconducive to clarify Frege{\textquoteright}s vague insight into the protorelation. The mistake of judgment-stroke for the sign of assertoric-force has its root in Frege{\textquoteright}s ignorance of the significant difference between {\textquotedblleft}judgment{\textquotedblright} and assertion{\textquotedblright}, which will be elucidated at length in the light of Husserl{\textquoteright}s theory of {\textquotedblleft}doxic-modification{\textquotedblleft}. In the end, based on a further elucidation of the activity of assertion, I will advance a tentative interpretation of the vague insight Frege has concerning the protorelation.}, url = {http://www.klemens.sav.sk/fiusav/doc/organon/2011/4/423-446.pdf}, author = {Song, Gao} }
