Does verificationism succeed inshowing that scepticism is untenable? Or is there a natural propensity for belief which explains why we are not in fact sceptics?The other six tackle questions about logic and its relation to language. Can one give a 'realist' account of logical truth without supposing that logic has a subject-matter? How do theories of descriptions fare when tested by their handling of functions? How can indirect speech report someone's useof words like 'this'?
