V 190/91
Tautology: SearleVsWittgenstein: tautologies are not empty: e.g. "either he is fascist or he is not a fascist" is very different from "either he is a hairdresser or he is not a hairdresser".
V 161
Universals/Searle: theoretically, a universal can be derived from any tautology: "bald or not bald". Vs: if one wanted to infer the existence of redness from the tautology "everything is either red or not red", this would only be a misunderstanding. With tautologies, no extra-linguistic facts are assumed. >Universals.
V 176
Existence/language/universalia/SearleVsTradition: but the assertion that any non-linguistic entities exist can never be a tautology.
