I 395
Identification/TugendhatVsStrawson: uses identification in the narrow sense.
>Frederick Strawson. Tugendhat: my own notion "specification" (which of all objects is meant) is superior to this concept.
>Specification.
"picking out" (to pick put) is Strawson's expression - (assumed from Searle) - (Quine: "to specify").
I 400ff
Identification/Identification/Tugendhat: space-time-location: this is an object - Specification: reference, stand for (another term) (in front of background of all other objects).
>Reference, >Background.
I 415
Identification/particular/TugendhatVsStrawson: space-time-relation not only anchored perceptively but also system of possible perception stand points - thus a system of demonstrative specification (in front of background).
>Space, >Spacetime.
I 417
Trough space-time description the perceptible object is specified as more perceptible - an essentially perceptibable cannot be the previous object who it is.
Reference: is then to specify a verification situation.
>Verification.
I 422
Distinguishing objects only from variable usage situations of perception predicates.
I 426
Particular/Identification/TugendhatVsStrawson: "here", "now" suffice as object to make space-time locations existent.
>Demonstratives, >Index words, >Indexicality.
Space-time-locations are the most elementary objects - but there must also be something - at least hypothetically, then the corresponding question of verification provides, for which object the singular term stands.
>Singular terms, >Objects.
Top-down: the use of all singular terms refers to demonstrative expressions - bottom-up: if the verification situation for the applicability of the predicate is described by demonstratives.
I 436
Localization/identification/Tugendhat: only by several speakers - not zero point, but set of surrounding objects. - The subjective zero point may be the own position.
>Subjectivity.
I 462
Identification/Tugendhat: spatial and temporal relation between objects insufficient - an infinite number of space-time locations, finitely many objects - presupposing space-time system - reference to space-time-points cannot fail.
Talk of existence without location is pointless. - Identification only by simultaneous reference to all other (possible) objects. - Therefore existence sentences are general.
>Existence, >Existence statements.
