Analysing P as "P is true" isn't some peculiarity of mine: in less formal terms, to assert something is to assert it as true. To put forward claims, and persuade others that they should believe them is to play a truth game...truth is what one should believe,
So your epistemology can't dispense with truth, but offers no analysis of truth, How useful is that?
Tabooing truth, or tabooing "truth"? It is almost always possible to stop using a word, but continue referring to the concept by synonymous words or phrases. Doing without the concept is harder....doing without the use, the employment us harder still.
Nothing works just because someone feels it does. The truth of something truly working us given by the territory.
Contextual truth is compatible with no truth?
