	Michael Dummett [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Dummett does not, in fact, find the case presented by Brouwer very convincing, relying as it does on the idea that a mathematical construction is a process carried out by the individual mathematician within the privacy of his or her own mind.
		Dummett is clear that he is not trying to show how deductive practices could be justified to someone who is completely skeptical about the possibility of deduction, rather, he is considering how we might decide whether a particular rule of inference, which is accepted by some logicians but not by others, is justifiable.
		Dummett is by no means alone in seeking for such a theory: in particular, there is a certain amount of overlap between Dummett's thinking and that of Donald Davidson, although it would be well beyond the scope of this article to examine the similarities and differences between these two thinkers in detail.

	Michael Dummett [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Dummett states that "I have never been able to sympathise with that idea", (Dummett, 1993a, 174) and, as he has noted, a Catholic philosopher could hardly be content to say that metaphysics is impossible (Dummett, 1978, 435).
		Dummett holds that it was an important turning point when Frege described a sentence as a proper name for a truth-value.
		Dummett's answer is that just as a logic may be justified by a semantic theory, a semantic theory may, in turn be justified by being made the basis of a meaning-theory.

	Oxford University Press: Thought and Reality: Michael Dummett
		To answer this, Dummett holds, it is necessary to say what kinds of fact obtain, and what constitutes their holding good.
		Dummett considers the relation between metaphysics, our conception of the constitution of reality, and semantics, the theory that explains how statements are determined as true or as false in terms of their composition out of their constituent expressions.
		On this basis Dummett puts forward his controversial view of reality as indeterminate: there may be no fact of the matter about whether an object does or does not have a given property.

	Michael Anthony Eardley Dummett Biography \| Dictionary of Literary Biography
		Dummett thinks that philosophy, like natural science, aims at discovering truth but that the process of discovery in philosophy is quite different from that in science.
		The questions in which philosophers are interested are difficult to solve not because the relevant facts are obscure but because it is difficult to bring them within the scope of an explanatory theory.
