I 132
Theory of Descriptions/SearleVsRussell/McDowell: here it is easy to be on the side of Searle (i.e., to assume intentionality).
>Description/Russell, >Description/Searle.
I 132/33
McDowellVsSearle: it is better to give up Searle's desire and clarify what the non-obvious descriptions are.
(With Evans): the conceptual area should not be regarded as a "predicative", but as "belonging to the area of Fregean sense".
>Fregean sense, >Concept/McDowell, >Predication.
I 210
McDowell Thesis: Fregean sense is effective in the area of reasons. Because rationality is a condition in the community, we do not distinguish between different senses.
>Space of reason.
But in order to attribute rationality to a subject, we must distinguish between senses (rational and irrational).

Theory of Descriptions/Russell/McDowell: Indirect relation to the world.
