Operational Coherence as the Source of Truth

It is important to keep in mind that an “activity” is not a single act, not even an actual concrete happening. Rather, it is a conceptualized thing, a type of action characterized by a description, not simply referred to by ostension.

The philosophical grammar of imperatives is an urgent task for philosophers of science trying to pay attention to scientific practice, and to pragmatists more generally. And don’t we also need to pay similar attention to the philosophical grammar of interrogatives?
