Stein and Pfänder on the expression of truth

Walter Redmond

pp. 213-224

There is a problem with the English translation of words that Edith Stein used in the context of logic and truth-theory. Stein lived in the same logical world as her friend from Göttingen days, Alexander Pfänder, whose Logik she read and criticized. I shall provide a template of truth-theory that philosophers of many stripes (and semioticians) would recognize. Then I shall relate the views of Pfänder and Stein to this template and suggest how their technical terms may be rendered.
