P.F. Strawson on Copula - Dictionary of Arguments
I 214 Connective/Relation/Strawson: a) stating connective: (s) is a... b) stated connective: is in relation to..., is an example of... Double-digit expressions are not designations of relations themselves! >Relation. Predicable relations between things not relations themselves. I 215 a) Species universals: provides classification principle, does not presuppose one - E.g. generic name. b) characterizing universals (ch. u.): e.g. verbs, adjectives: provide class. principle only for previously sorted particulars. But also particulars themselves provide the principle of summary: e.g. Socrates as well as wisdom. ->attributive tie: (non-relational connection between particulars of various types). I 216 Example of the characterizing tie between Socrates and the universal dying corresponds to the attributive tie between Socrates and his death. I 216 1) Species or Sample tie/Strawson: a) Fido is a dog, an animal, a terrier - b) Fido, Coco and Rover are dogs. 2) characterizing tie: e.g. Socrates is wise, is lively, argues - b) Socrates, Plato, Aristotle are all wise, all of them die. 3) attributive tie: grouping of particulars because of the characterizing tie. E.g. smiling, praying. Each is a symmetrical form: x is a characterizing tie to y - asymmetrical: x is characterized by y. - Then y dependent member. I 219 Categorical criterion of the subject-predicate distinction: x is asserted to be bound non-relationallly to y i.e. universals of particulars can be predicted, but not by particulars of universals. But even universals can be predicated by universals. >Universals/Strawson. I 221 New/Strawson: distinction between object types instead of word types. I 227f Connective/Bond/Strawson: Special case: between particulars: e.g. the catch which eliminated Compton was made by Carr. Solution: regard is carried out, etc. as quasi-universal. Only quasi-universal: because action and execution of the action are not different. I 229 Nevertheless: a simplification like Compton was eliminated by Carr has a different weighting. Point: we have transferred the role of the subject of a predication to theobjects. >Predication. This is a new criterion as a bridge between the two others._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
