Problem: then a consequence might have been generated by different formula. >Indeterminacy, >Rule following, >Kripke's Wittgenstein. Common meaning: for this we suggest taking the formula itself, since we can not see in the head the other. >Other minds, cf. >Principle of Charity. II 63 N.B.: ostension: learning by examples, the function itself is learned, not a way of representation of this formula. >Way of givenness._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
