Jerry Fodor on Conceptual Role - Dictionary of Arguments
IV 177 Compositionality/compositional/Fodor/Lepore: CRT (conceptual role) requires equating the inferential role with meaning along with the distinction analytic/synthetic, so that constituents of inferences can provide the meanings. >Inferential role. Fodor/Lepore Vs: but then semantics is meaningless, e.g. "brown cows are dangerous" would be analytical! >Tautology. Field: thesis: the inferiential role equals subjective probability. FodorVs/LeporeVs: subjective probability itself is not compositional, e.g. there is no addition of subjective probability about cows and brown things. >Covariance._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
