Talk:Proposition (disambiguation)

Propositions are sentences?

Please see the ongoing discussion of this topic at Proposition. BrideOfKripkenstein (talk) 23:17, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

this part of article is wrong an has no citations in support therefore deleting— Philogos (talk) 00:39, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

"A proposition is a sentence expressing something true or false[edit]"

I deleted this on grounds of no citation. Rick has reverted providing citation but citation says "statement" not "sentence"

"A statement of something to be discussed, proved, or explained." The New Merriam-Webster Dictionary,

and these are not synonymous!:

Refer to statement proposition sentence truth-bearer — Philogos (talk) 19:19, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Redirecting Purported, Purport, Purports from Meaning to here

As a result I've a;so added a section on Purported, Purports to this article. Tlhslobus (talk) 07:33, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

If this is a redirect page, it should contain just enough information for the reader to move on to the page they are looking for.

I was attracted to this page most recently by the claim that a proposition is not a statement. In mathematics and in ordinary English a proposition is a statement. For the various ways "proposition" is used in philosophy, this page should direct the reader to the proper page, with at most a very brief explanation.
