José L. Zalabardo defends a pragmatist account of what grounds the meaning of central semantic discourses―ascriptions of truth, of propositional attitudes, and of meanings. He argues that it is the procedures that regulate acceptance and rejection that give the sentences of these discourses their meanings, and explores the application of the pragmatist template to ethical discourse.
