What we’re about
P&G is more than just a group of people. It is a community. A community of philosophers, thinkers, book readers, paper readers, and folks that ask the foundational questions. What is the meaning of life? How do we know what we know? What makes us human? These are some of the questions that P&G members explore together through lively discussions and debates. But P&G is not only about intellectual pursuits. It is also a community of thoughtful people coming together to hike, and hangout. Whether it's enjoying the beauty of nature, sharing a meal, or playing games, P&G members bond over their common interests and values. P&G is a community where you can find friends who challenge you to grow and support you along the way.

Section 1.8, "The true role of truth and judgement", adds nuance to the semantic picture16. While finding semantic deflationism valuable, the author agrees with critics that it might be "too thin" to explain the normative character of assertion and judgement. Drawing on pragmatic ideas, the section suggests understanding truth in relation to warranted assertibility and focuses on the pragmatic significance of the norms of truth and falsity in communication and thought.... This perspective moves beyond simple "cognitive" vs. "non-cognitive" distinctions. The success of approaches like quasi-realism, which can handle claims (such as moral ones) without needing Representationalist "truthmakers," is presented as a reason to reject Representationalism globally.
