This chapter presents a Radical Fictionalist analysis of talk about fiction, as in my utterances of ‘Fahrquhar was a well to do planter’ or of ‘according to Bierce’s Occurrence, Fahrquhar was a well to do planter’. According to this chapter’s favourite approach, namely the Way of Retelling, the former sentence does not encode a proposition, and the latter does not involve a sentential operator. The central sections of this chapter justify the sense in which these sentences are not in the business of truth, and are rather to be assessed according to the normative dimension of faithfulness. The final sections of this chapter present an alternative to the Way of Retelling, namely the Way of Truth. This hypothesis remains consistent with the premises of Radical Fictionalism, but it satisfies those who insist that fiction talk is to be analysed as elliptical talk concerned with actual truth.

OHS management systems and professionals have done much to ensure the health and safety of workers and societies in general. However, where these systems have become complex, overbearing and authoritarian, they have stifled workers and the community’s ability to respond to unique or unanticipated occurrences of occupational and general risk. This predicament is exacerbated when the general public lose faith in an OHS culture that has “gone mad”, or become “out of control”, and where “open season” has been declared by the media on safety regulators, their systems and regulations. This may be a perceived rather than actual truth, however, perceptions drive personal attitudes and responses, and the reputation and effectiveness of OHS is at stake. Driving some contemporary attitudes towards OHS is a barrage of lampoon, satire and angry comment pervade by mischief-makers, the press and the electronic media. The profession has also looked into the mirror and revealed areas of self-doubt. This paper looks at an unfolding and worrying scenario for occupational health.

Three themes in interreligious friendship are illustrated through stories from the author’s childhood and adulthood. Curiosity takes different forms across the life span but can continue to lead to relationships both personal and professional. Responsibility asks that one represent one’s own tradition accurately, including in recognizing that no single person can speak for a religion. Hospitality is understood both as interpersonal welcome and, drawing from Catherine Cornille, as recognizing and welcoming “actual truth” in other religions. Hospitality offers and sustains friendship despite societal obstacles and individual failures. Throughout the life cycle, the experience of envying others’ religiosity can both inspire friendship and refine how one understands and practices one’s own religious commitments.

general rule from particular cases and is inconclusive which suggests the end processes of legal judgments are inconclusive. However, when it is, the courts ensure that inconclusive reasoning can be enforced! Like deductive reasoning, the logic of inductive reasoning has no interest in the actual truth of the propositions that are the premises or the conclusion. Just because a logical form is correctly constructed, it does not mean that the conclusion expressed is true. The truth of a conclusion depends upon whether the major and minor premises express statements that are true. The statements may be false. Much time is spent by lawyers in court attempting to prove the truth of statements used as building blocks in the construction of arguments. In an inductive argument, the premises only tend to support the conclusions, but they do not compel the conclusion. By tradition, the study of inductive logic was kept to arguments by way of analogy, or methods of generalisation, on the basis of a finite number of observations. Argument by analogy is the most common form of argument in law. Such an argument begins by stating that two objects are observed to be similar by a number of attributes. It is concluded that the two objects are similar with respect to a third. The strength of such an argument depends upon the degree of relationship. Lawyers are advisers and they offer predictive advice based on how previous similar cases have been dealt with. All advice is based on the lawyers’ perception of what would happen in court; this is usually enough to ensure that, in the vast majority of civil cases, matters between disputants are settled. The lawyers’ perception is based upon their experience of how judges reason. Although deductive reasoning lends support to the Blackstonian theory that the law is always there to be found, there is room for the judge to exercise discretion. A judge will have to find the major premise. The judge may do this by looking at statutes or precedent. In the absence of statute, precedent or custom, he or she may need to create one by analogy or a process of induction. Once the judge has stated the major premise the judge will need to examine the facts of the case to ascertain if they are governed by the major premise. If this has been established, the conclusion will follow syllogistically. In the vast majority of cases, the conclusion will simply be an application of existing law to the facts. Occasionally, the decision creates a new law which may or may not be stated as a proposition of law. To ascertain whether a new law has been stated may require a comparison between the material facts implied within the major premise and the facts which make up the minor premise. To summarise, judges are involved in a type of inductive reasoning called reasoning by analogy. This is a process of reasoning by comparing examples. The purpose is to reach a conclusion in a novel situation. This process has been described as a three stage process: (1) the similarity between the cases is observed; (2) the rule of law (ratio decidendi) inherent in the first case is stated. Reasoning is from the particular to the general (deduction); (3) that rule is applied to the case for decision. At this point, reasoning is from the general to the particular (induction).

A simple puzzle leads Fine to conclude that we should distinguish between worldly sentences like “Socrates exists,” whose truth values depend on circumstances and unworldly ones like “Socrates is human,” which are true or false independently of circumstances. The former, if true in every circumstance, express necessary propositions. The latter, if true, express transcendental propositions, which, for theoretical convenience, we regard as necessary in an extended sense. Here it is argued that this understanding is backwards. Transcendental truths and sentences true in every circumstance (here labeled universal truths) are both species of necessary truth. The revised understanding is clarified by a simple formal system with distinct operators for necessary, transcendental, and universal truth. The system is axiomatized. Its universal-truth fragment coincides with something that Arthur Prior once proposed as System A. The ideas of necessary, transcendental truth are further clarified by considering their interaction with actual truth. Adding an operator for actually true to the formal system produces a system closely related to one of Crossley and Humberstone.

This article attempts to pinpoint the interaction of Cultural Representation in Wole Soyinka’s play The Lion and the Jewel. Culture can be perceived as a bunch of regular convictions that hold individuals together, these normal convictions lead to social practices, and practices that are instilled with significance. Culture is to incorporate every one of the aspects of human experience that stretch out past our actual truth, culture alludes how we comprehend ourselves both as people and as member of the society incorporates stories, religion, media, ceremonies, and even language.The Europeans colonization in African made many changes in their culture, some people thought that they are reformed by the European, but some thought that their culture was changed by them. The play sets in the village named Ilujinle in West Africa, and it has the characteristics like comedy, love, myth, folklore, dance, music, and cultural conflict between old culture and new culture, because the old culture was followed by uneducated people, they were led by Baroka and the new culture was followed by Lakunle, who works as a teacher in that village. Wole Soyinka presents the custom and traditions of Yoruba in the play The Lion and the Jewel and he created significant characters, who defends the modernity because they are deeply rooted with old custom and tradition of their culture.
