The term proposition has a broad use in contemporary philosophy.
Description
It is used to refer to some or all of the following:
- The primary bearers of truth value
- The objects of belief and other "propositional attitudes" (i.e., what is believed, doubted, etc.)
- The referents of that-clauses and the meanings of declarative sentences
Propositions are the sharable objects of attitudes and the primary bearers of truth and falsity.
This stipulation rules out certain candidates for propositions, including thought- and utterance-tokens which are not sharable, and concrete events or facts, which cannot be false.
