VsTradition: Understanding of counterfactual situations can not be manifest, not communicated, and therefore not be acquired. >Ostension, cf. >Realism. "Manifestation challenge": what right do we have to give speakers an understanding of expressions that goes beyond what they can show in their linguistic behaviour? This is the third argument of ConstructivismVsRealism. Question: what can count as manifestation. >Constructivism. Read III 274 From a finite set of postulates one can recursively generate a potentially infinite output. Problem: how can the learning child understand the language if it is not fixed to this actual set but only to manifestations? Chomsky's answer: there are preprogrammed structures. Gap between evidence and theory: need not be closed in this way. Anti-Realism/Read: closes it by denying that theory is so beyond data! Meaning can be nothing other than speakers manifesting in its use. This denies that meaning can have a private element. >Meaning, >Speaker meaning, >Language behavior, >Use, >Use theory.}, note = { Re III St. Read Thinking About Logic: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Logic. 1995 Oxford University Press German Edition: Philosophie der Logik Hamburg 1997 }, file = {http://philosophy-science-humanities-controversies.com/listview-details.php?id=201180} url = {http://philosophy-science-humanities-controversies.com/listview-details.php?id=201180} }
