Abstract
The paper clarifies the notions of semantic fact and human responses that are implicit in the communitarian view on linguistic meaning, developed by Wittgenstein in his considerations on rule following in Philosophical Investigations. My main thesis is that Crispin Wright’s recent proposal, concerning the order-ofdetermination between facts and best judgments of a domain, offers the best perspective to elucidate the philosophical intuitions of such a view, if the human responses alluded in Wright’s basic equations are formulated in a communitarian framework.
