论罗素和迪莫斯关于“否定性事实”的观点差异

摘要

According to the correspondence theory of truth, Russel holds that if there are no negative facts we can⁃not explain a negative proposition .This view was strongly criticized by Demos. On the one hand, Demos made a unique explanation about negative facts in his theory of negative proposition; on the other hand, Demos empirically argued, in essence, that the negative fact does not exist. This paper researches the philosophical background of neg⁃ative facts of Russell and Demos respectively and analyzes the differences between these two kinds of views.%　　罗素基于自己真理符合论的立场认为不存在否定性事实就无法解释否定性命题，这一点受到了迪莫斯的强烈批评。迪莫斯一方面用自己的理论对否定性命题作出了独到的解释，另一方面基于经验主义的立场认为否定性事实实质上并不存在。
