The evidence collected implies that the effect of moral factors upon content is weak. The implications of this for Esa Diaz-Leon’s recent attempt to show how Jennifer Saul can legitimately reject an empirical semantic hypothesis on political grounds are described. Directions for future research are also described.</p>}, journal={Studia Philosophica Estonica}, author={Davies, Alex and Kaplinski, Lauris and Lepamets, Maarja}, year={2019}, month={Dec.}, pages={7–33} }
