II 22
Description/recognition/identification/individuation/Hintikka: the difference is often represented as:
A) assign a name to a face,
B) assign a face to a name,
A) answer a what-question &
B) answer a where-question.
Model Theory/Hintikka: the model-theoretical situation is, however, not completely reproduced with this. Therefore, "acquaintance" and "description" should only be taken with some limitations.
>Identification, >Individuation, >Model theory, >Description.
II 23
Acquaintance/description/Hintikka: acquaintance corresponds to
psychology/psychological: a) semantic memory and b) episodic memory.
II 144
Acquaintance/reduction/reducibility/Russell/Hintikka: Russell only regarded the quantum of acquaintance as irreducible. This corresponds to the fact that he only regards logical names "this", etc. as real names.
II 149
Acquaintance/description/cross-world identification/cross-world identity/Hintikka:
(7) Acquaintance can thus be paraphrased:
(7) I know who the man is over there.
(11) (Ex) Kl (the man there = x)
(12) (∃x) Kl (Sir Norman Brook = x)
The unexpected parallelism between the everyday translations for (11) and (12) shows that the uniqueness conditions mutatis mutandis work in the same way for both ways of identification (acquaintance/description).
World lines: world lines must not change during the course.
Cf. >Four-dimensionalism.
