“Not so fast!”‚ one might say. The sorts of Biological Conventions I described might well be necessary for Logical Conventionalism‚ but they do not entail it. In fact‚ we do not even have a story about how possibly Biological Conventions (i.e.‚ biological rules for the assignment of meanings to logical idioms) can make Logical Conventionalism (i.e. a thesis about the truth-makers of logical sentences) true. Don’t we need a story of how could it be true‚ to conclude that the case against it is not
