Theories of truth and theories of meaning: a discussion of semantic skepticism and its possible solutions based on Quine, Davidson, and Dummett's work by Lucas Vollet

“…Quine's semantic skepticism asserts that two or more hypotheses about the meaning of p that are equally consistent with behavioral facts do not guarantee the same theoretical paradigm of p's meaning. Thus, a theory of truth for p is insufficient to entail a theory of meaning for p. …”
