E. with the embarrassing residue, after all the obvious candidates are assigned to their naturalistically respectable places on the right – by saying that we’re victims of large-scale error. Large sub-classes of the statements we take to be true are actually systematically false. 2. Fictionalism. A similar view offers the same diagnosis of the apparent mismatch between statements and truth-makers, but with an irenic conclusion. The eliminativist compares the false statements in question to the claims of discarded scientific theories and recommends a similar fate.
A fictionalist thinks that moral claims have both an everyday use and a literal use. Taken literally (and interpreted as a moral claim), the statement ‘Torture is indefensible’ is false. Literally speaking, there are no moral facts to make it true. Taken in its everyday sense, however – within the fiction in which we all participate – it may be said to be true. By contrast, an expressivist doesn’t have to admit that there is any sense in which such a statement is literally false. On the contrary, says the expressivist, taking it to be literally false is making a mistake about what kind of speech act it is.
Claims about language come to play a role analogous to that of observational data in science, with the semantic relations supporting inferences to an unobserved reality. The enterprise thus becomes committed to a linguistic conception of its starting point. There are many strands in this linguistic retooling of contemporary metaphysics – the linguistic return, as we might call it. One significant strand runs as follows, I think. In David Lewis’s influential conception of theoretical identification in science (1970, 1972), objects of interest are identified as occupiers of causal roles.
