Notes
1 Interpretive concepts stand in contrast to descriptive concepts, such as “prime number” or “monarchy.” For descriptive concepts, only verbal disagreement is possible.
2 For Dworkin, it is determinate which concept we mean by, say, “justice.” Still, this does not settle which actions, policies, etc., are just. Whether taxation is just (his example) remains indeterminate on his view, even though there is a specific concept our words pick out.
