Even though you deeply xiii ccc_tracy_fm_i-xviii.qxd 7/7/03 3:23 PM Page xiv xiv ➤ INTRODUCTION desire to live a wonderfully healthy, happy, prosperous life, when you read those words, your doubts and fears arose immediately to remind you of reasons why these dreams and goals may not be pos- sible for you. Well, join the crowd! This is exactly how I felt many years ago. Even though I wanted to be a big success in life, I was unskilled, uneducated, and unem- ployed. I had no idea what I could do to improve my situation. I felt trapped between big ideas on the one hand and limited resources and opportunities on the other. Then I discovered a series of re- markable principles that have been responsible for all the great suc-

Namely, they have meanings in virtue of having truth conditions, and they have truth conditions in virtue of being transformationally derived from explicitly truth-defined formulas of a logic-like notational system. Synonymous sentences are transformational variations of each other; ambiguous sentences are the products of more than one possible transformational process, and so forth. Ideally, the truth-condition theorist wants to be empirically more respon- sible than Russell was. Russell approached truth conditions a priori; he would write an English sentence on the blackboard, write a logical formula next to it, eyeball the two, and judge that the latter seems to get the former's truth condition right. Better, he did appeal to his hypotheses' puzzle-solving abili- ties as well. But a contemporary truth-condition theorist should want her/ his semantical hypotheses to be, in addition, at least somewhat responsible to plausible syntactic theories.
