Proposition
In common
philosophical language, a proposition is the content of an
assertion, that is, it is
true-or-
false and defined by the meaning of a particular piece of
language. The proposition is independent of the of
communication.Since the definition of "proposition" is such a crucial matter to various topics in
philosophy, the
nature of propositions is highly controversial. Even the
existence of propositions is sometimes called into question and, as a result, the term is widely used, even when the
term is not itself explicitly defined and therefore confusion, in regard to "meaning", may arise.
