speakers of a language cannot determine the proposition expressed by the
utterance of a sentence in a particular context. Underdetermination has been
invoked to cast doubt on a standard picture of communication and testimonial
knowledge. While there are epistemic and metaphysical versions of the problem\,
in this paper\, we argue that the most pressing challenge is to show how
communication actually often succeeds despite its recalcitrant character.
Against a dominant convergentist strategy\, we develop the suggestion that
communication succeeds in the face of recalcitrant underdetermination when
determinable propositional types bring together divergent but similar
determinate propositions.\n \;\nThe seminar will be held online\, to join the meeting\, please use the information below:\nJoin Zoom Meeting\n \;\nhttps://uw-edu-pl.zoom.us/j/92716044372?pwd=0l7PETAOwqQDBKTMCnheYQN7ag7zx1.1\nMeeting ID: 927 1604 4372
