Abstract:

The claim of this book is that truth is a matter of language games and practical 
achievements: it is a "member phenomenon". To document this statement, it 
proceeds to the investigation of instances of truth-related practices in various 
Arab contexts. Bearing on the constitution of actions and events, on what is 
factual or objective, on predictability, consequentiality, intentionality, causality, 
and on the many ways people orient to them, such a varied set of questions 
appears thoroughly moral. The praxeological respecification this book 
undertakes leads to important considerations regarding the question of morality 
in ordinary reasoning, and the categories and categorizations on which that 
morality is based: moral values are publicly available; morality has a modal 
logic; moral values and conventions have an open texture; objectivity is a 
practical achievement carried out by members of society; the moral order is an 
omnipresent, constitutive characteristic of social practice.
