Concluding Remarks
View through CrossRef
In this book it has been argued that the ardent realist’s best shot is to hold that normative role can determine reference. But it has not been claimed either that normative role in fact can determine reference, or that ardent realism is in fact vindicated if it is so. No categorical claims about the fate of ardent realism have been defended. In fact, various arguments have aimed to cast doubt on natural suggestions regarding how to settle the question of whether ardent realism is in fact true. In this chapter, it is suggested that a certain kind of principled agnosticism may be the right response to the problems discussed.
