177 INDETERMINACY The thesis of indeterminacy amounts to an attack on attempts to attribute explanatory power to meaning(s), propositions, propositional attitudes, etc. You can't explain truth by saying that something is true by virtue of its meaning. It denies that one can say why a person accepts a sentence by saying that he/she accepts a proposition that that sentence expresses.
