Abstract

For comparative study of philosophy as its primary anti-realism, the basic strategy, Dummett traced back through semantics, the realism and anti-realism dispute into a matter of semantics, in order to find the key to resolving the dispute. Correct understanding of the meaning in the relationship between theory and metaphysical premise, Dummett use bottom-up strategy, trying to find an appropriate theory of meaning as a basis for resolving disputes. In order to fully adhere to the philosophy of its anti-realist position, Dummett rejects the binary principle, the intuitionistic logic as its metaphysical basis. Dummett's anti-realism of various strategies to promote not only our in-depth thinking and language to describe the relationship between objective reality, but also provides us a new perspective of philosophical problems, new methods in the academic community had a profound impact. Taking comparative study as his basic strategy of Anti-realism, Dummett transformed the dispute on metaphysics into the dispute on semantics by semantic ascending, and thereby found the key to the problem. Accordingly, on the basis of correctly understanding the relationship between theory of meaning and metaphysics, Dummett tried to find a proper theory of meaning as the basis for solving the dispute by use the strategy of from bottom to top. In order to maintain thoroughly hsi philosophical standpoint of Anti-realism, he rejected two-valued semantics and took Intuitionist logic as the basis of his metaphysics. Dummett's strategies of Anti-realism not only push us to think further the relationship between language description and external world, hut also provide us a new method for investigating philosophical problems
