I 12/13
Propositions/Prior: propositioes are logical structures (i.e. no real objects), (facts and phrases are not).
>Objects, >Intensions, >Facts, >Sentences.
Therefore propositions are language independent.
>Language dependency, >Language independence, >Translation,
>Meaning.
I 19
Proposition/fact/Prior: "Grass is not pink": complex sentence on grass, not sentence about "proposition" Grass is pink"".
>About, >Levels/order, >Description levels.
I 29
Proposition/Prior: you cannot only think P, but also about P, but other form than about objects: E.g. "__ thinks that the proposition __ is absurd": because the second gap is not for name but a sentence.
>Names, >Sentences, >Meta language, >Thinking.
"about"/Prior: belief-that, thinking-that: this is never about propositions, but about what propositions are about.
"about" is systematically ambiguous, what it means depends on what kind of name or quasi-name (for example, numbers) follows it.
>Objects of thought, >Objects of belief.
I 42
Propositions/Wittgenstein/Ramsey: no matter from what "order" are always truth functions of independent sentences.
I 52
Propositions/Prior: have only Pickwick's importance. (WittgensteinVsBroad: (W II 94), there is not a "special" meaning besides the "ordinary" B.) - Proposition/Church: propositions have the property, "to be the concept of truth or falsehood".
>Thoughts, >A. Church.
I 53
Proposition/Prior: when we speak of propositional identity, we are forced, to no longer see them as logical constructions. We need to treat them as real objects. (PriorVs).
>Intensions, >Intensionality, cf. >Hyperintensionality, >Identification, >Individuation.
I 53
Name/proposition/Prior: "the proposition that p" only apparent name.
>Names, >Names of sentences.
I 64
Identity of propositions/Prior: no substantive equivalence.
>Equivalence, >Material equivalence.
