Verdad y convención

Abstract

By rejecting the metaphysical questions that expect an answer based only in facts, the author thesis is that: realistic ways of talking employing the ideas of truth, fact and reality provides and unrealistic approach to philosophical questions. He suggests that it should be employed the idioms of convention and rationality. He also recognizes the centrality of decision, without assuming that arbitrariness has to go in hand with it. It is concluded that truth and convention peacefully coexist, but philosophy itself must begin wih conventions for the evaluations of conventions.
