Sažetak
This paper argues that truth can only be adequately interpreted through an intersubjective framework. The authors have chosen such an approach because both of the prominent approaches of truth, i.e., the correspondence theories of truth and the deflationary approaches, are plagued with many difficulties, as will be shown in the first two parts of the paper. The motivation for the theory is found in both Husserl’s philosophy and Wittgenstein’s late philosophy. This means that the idea of intersubjective agreement is borrowed from the respective outlooks of the mentioned philosophers. However, we do not claim that either Husserl or Wittgenstein understood truth in such terms. One other starting point is Davidson’s approach to truth, as outlined in Davidson (1990 and 1996). We have decided for such an approach because we believe that it encompasses the ordinary nonreflective notion of truth better than both the theoretical approaches mentioned before and because it is a more down to earth approach to truth, which means that it can be applied to a broader framework of phenomena.
