 Finally, we turn to a discussion of a view of propositions recently championed by Scott Soames [2010a, 2010b]. Soames follows King [2007, 2009] in rejecting the view that propositions are things that are representational, and so have truth conditions, independently of minds and languages on the grounds that such a view is ultimately mysterious and unintelligible. Again following King, Soames thinks that the fact that propositions are representational must ultimately be explained in terms of the representational capacities of agents. However, Soames’ positive account of how/why propositions have truth conditions differs in important ways from King’s.
