First, there are those propositions (or assertions) that are demonstrably true or false. An example of one of these is the proposition that it is currently raining in a particular locale. In order to determine whether this is or is not the case one must simply turn to various widely accepted methods of gathering contemporaneous weather data. Alternatively, there are those propositions that are not demonstrably true or false. These would be the propositions that indeed are...
