Object of thought/Prior:
a) Ryle: "accusative of belief": the proposition
b) what we think of something, e.g. grass
c) what we think about it.
Predicate: predicares are is not "about".
>"About", >Predicates, >Predication, >Intentionality,
>Propositions, >Thinking, >Content.

Thinking/object/Prior: one can know very well what it means to think of X without knowing whether X exists - even a third party can know what it is, that Y thinks of X without knowing whether X exists.
>Thought objects, >Belief objects, >Non-existence, >Reference.
Dilemma:
a) thinking constitutes a relation between X and Y, but not if X does not exist.
>Relation theory.
b) thinking is the same, regardless of whether the object exists or not (Anscombe).
>E. Anscombe.
Prior: one has to be abandoned, but which one?},
