Having "problematized" my alleged conflict with Unger, Winter offers a solution. We could, he proposes, "accept the Wittgensteinian's first response without buying into the second; we could abandon the notion of justification without relinquishing entirely the concept of representation." Of course for me, this is the worst of both worlds: we should certainly not abandon the important enterprise of justification, nor should we return to the correspondence view of meaning, wherein it is claimed that we understand words and sentences when they represent (or stand for) our thoughts, feelings, or intentions.

XREF: Rejects both naive correspondence theory of meaning and radical abandonment of justification, parallel to Steel's own middle-path positions on other debates.
