Tugendhat I 377
Existence/Russell/Tugendhat: R interprets the singular predicative statement as an existential statement and this as a general (overall) statement.
>Existence statement, >Sentence, >Statement, >Generality.
This was already anticipated by Kant and Frege. Then e.g. Present King of France etc. is always wrong.
>Nonexistence, >Truth value.
Tugendhat I 380
General statements/Quine: Thesis: basic statements are always general statements, and there are no singular statements at all.
>Statement/Quine.
StrawsonVsQuine: it is the general statements themselves that refer to singular statements when specifying their truth conditions - you cannot explain the use of a general sentence without the explanation of the use of singular sentences.
>Statement/Strawson, >Sentence/Strawson, >Referene/Strawson.
