What is the Difference that Makes a Difference? Gadamer, Habermas, and Rorty
Abstract
There are many ways to characterize what we are talking about when we speak of modernity and post-modernity. But one description—as it pertains to philosophy—might go something like this. The “core problem” for philosophy in the modern world has been to resolve what Michael Dummett has called the “scandal” of philosophy:—“the scandal caused by philosophy's lack of a systematic methodology.”

Game hermeneutics can be built upon earlier theories of meaning that have been extensively theorized and validated.
“Game hermeneutics would be a good candidate for a theory of game meaning, since it can be built upon earlier theories of meaning that have been extensively theorized and validated (e.g., Bernstein, 1982; Gjesdal, 2006; Harrington, 2000; Lammi, 1991; Linge, 1973; Mendelson, 1979; Weberman, 2000).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
