What British academic philosopher has this quote attributed to him regarding the principle of charity "it constrains the interpreter to maximize the truth or rationality in the subject's sayings."?
Principle of charity In philosophy and rhetoric, the principle of charity requires interpreting a speaker's statements to be rational and, in the case of any argument, considering its best, strongest possible interpretation. In its narrowest sense, the goal of this methodological principle is to avoid attributing irrationality, logical fallacies or falsehoods to the others' statements, when a coherent, rational interpretation of the statements is available. According to Simon Blackburn "it constrains the interpreter to maximize the truth or rationality in the subject's sayings."
Hume's principle Hume's principle or HP—the terms were coined by George Boolos—says that the number of "F"s is equal to the number of "G"s if and only if there is a one-to-one correspondence (a bijection) between the "F"s and the "G"s. HP can be stated formally in systems of second-order logic. Hume's principle is named for the Scottish philosopher David Hume.
