This is a critique of the logicist theory of truth and facts set forth in the final section of John R. Searle's book The Construction of Social Reality (1995). Searle's logicist account, much in line with his theory of speech acts, is contrasted to a pragmaticist and interactionalist perspective on truth, facts, and discourse.
