        The manifestation challenge against realism raises the question of how the realist can explain the understanding of the truth-conditions of evidence-transcendent propositions, to which he seems to be committed. Here it is contended that the manifestation requirement should be construed in tandem with the principle of compositionality of meaning. When both the manifestation and the compositionality principles are taken into account then much of the force of the argument against realist conceptions of meaning is lost. The particular cases of propositions about the past, other minds, inaccessible regions of space-time and about unsurveyable domains are considered. Finally, a line of argument on the part of the anti-realist is considered and addressed to the effect that a distinction should be made in every case between the subsentential components whose contribution is under the reach of our epistemic capabilities and the sub-sentential components whose putative contribution is evidence transcendent. The anti-realist claim will be rejected.
        El desafío de manifestación contra el realismo plantea la cuestión sobre cómo es que el realista puede explicar la comprensión de las condiciones de verdad de proposiciones para las que cualquier evidencia trascendería nuestras capacidades epistémicas. El realista parece estar comprometido a la aceptación de estas proposiciones inverificables. Aquí se sostiene que el requerimiento de manifestación debe ser interpretado en coherencia con el principio de composicionalidad del significado. Cuando tanto el principio de manifestación como el principio de composicionalidad son considerados, entonces gran parte de la fuerza del argumento contra las concepciones realistas del significado se pierde. Se consideran los casos particulares de proposiciones sobre eventos pasados, otras mentes, regiones inaccesibles del espacio-tiempo y sobre dominios no-recorribles mediante un procedimiento finito. Finalmente se considera y contesta una línea de argumentación anti-realista según la cual en cada caso debería hacerse una distinción entre los componentes sub-sentenciales cuya contribución se encuentra bajo el alcance de nuestras capacidades epistémicas y los componentes sub-sentenciales cuya contribución putativa es trascendente a la evidencia que se pueda tener en favor (o en contra) de ellos. El alegato anti-realista será rechazado.
