Abstract
It appears to be as difficult to argue against the incoherence thesis which emerges from Wright’s and Dummett’s arguments as it is to accept it. For if we try to argue against any premiss on the grounds that it leads to obviously false or contradictory conclusions, there is always the reply available that this is further evidence of deeply embedded inconsistency in this part of the language.53
