ABSTRACT
I offer a simple-minded analysis of presupposition in which if a
sentence has a presupposition, then both that sentence and its negation
logically entail the presupposition; and in which sentences with failed
presuppositions are neither true nor false. This account naturally
generates an analysis of what it takes to disagree and what it takes to
be at fault in a disagreement. A simple generalisation gives rise to
the possibility of disagreements in which no party is at fault, as is
required by leading theories on predicates of taste.B
