I (a) 16
Meaning/Putnam: meaning is not in the head. Proof: the linguistic division of labor shows that I am not the only one who has the criteria ((s) at least I am willing to learn from others). PutnamVsTarski: understanding of the reference must be added. This must be independent of recognition (realistic position).
>Reference/Putnam.
I (g) 49
Meaning/theory/PutnamVsCarnap/VsPositivismus: the theory does not determine the meaning. Otherwise the term gravity would change if a 10th Planet was discovered. Positivists also require, that the theory is dependent of all additional assumptions, otherwise the schema theory and prediction would collapse.
>Theory, >Additional assumptions, >Prediction.
I (e) 141ff
Meaning/Putnam: meaning results from the deletion of quotes. >Disquotation.
I (k) 258
Term Transformation/change of meaning/significance/Putnam: e.g. if aliens had replaced all the stars of the Big Dipper through giant light bulbs, we would say : "that is not really a star" but not "this is not really the Big Dipper".
>Meaning change.
