If it’s helpful, the idea of teleosemantics is, in my judgement, the same thing I’m trying to point people at when I write about the problem of the criterion.
I go into some depth about the stuff around purpose in this post. I think that’s the deepest and trickiest part to grok, and failing to grok it I think the stuff about truth being contingent will fall flat.
I’m also writing a book about this topic. The chapter I hope to post this week tackles the problem of the criterion more head on, and the next chapter I’ll write is about purpose (telos). You might find that helpful to in understanding the idea, but alas it’s not done yet.
