Honestly, i can`t think of one academic philosopher that actually officially endoses it.

1) To be specific, I am going to take the view of contextualism of truth that for any propositions p, p is true, or false according to the context of the agent S that asserted p. For certain context, S is making a true claim, while in another context, S is making a false claims( maybe it is an undecidable claim).


Easy. your job is to figure out why 1 is a bad idea with a nice thought out argument.
