Schwarz I 121
Predicate/Lewis/Schwarz: singles out properties - which ones depends on possible worlds.
---
Schwarz I 228
Names/Predicate/Property/Lewis: Thesis: names can name anything: instead of predicate "F" we take "F-ness" predicates are not names and designate nothing.
Predicate/(s): Not singular terms.
>Singular term, >Name/Lewis.
SchwarzVsLewis/RussellVsFrege: assuming that each predicate can be assigned a name for a corresponding property, Russell’s paradox follows -> heterology: no property corresponds to some predicates such as E.g. "is a property that does not apply to itself".
Also, nothing that can be named with a singular term corresponds to predicates such as E.g. "is a class" E.g. "is part of" and E.g. "identical with".
((s) Predicates can always be invented, whether the world contains adequate properties is an empirical question.)
