I 25
Logic/Proposition/Statement/MatesVsPropositions/Logic/Mates: the structure of a proposition should not be confused with that of the corresponding assertion.
E.g. "Kennedy won the election" - "he won the election" (various propositions are possible.).
Also their structure is not easy to see from the accompanying statement.
Thoughts/Mates: also thought may have different structures. -Not all can be divided in categories like singular subjunctive, affirming, hypothetically, etc.
Judgments/Mates: a judgment is rather an "act of the mind", not in logic.
Instead: in logic we should accept only statements.
>Logic/Mates, >Logic, >Statements, >Assertions, >Judgments, >Thoughts.
Solution: equivalence: the statement is true iff the claim that is set up with it, is true.
>Equivalence.
Corresponding for judgments, thoughts, etc.
Index words/solution: complete with place and time.
>Index words, >Indexicality, >Timelessness, >Generalization.
