I 154f Predication/Wessel: Difference: negation of the attribution of predicates requires distinguishing inner/outer negation. >Internal negation, >External negation, >Negation. Propositional logic: only external negation: the whole statement is negated. >Propositional logic. Internal negation: the predicate is denied. >Predicates, >Attribution. It must be possible to express "neither s ‹ P nor s ‹/ P": e.g. "The moon is neither honest nor not honest". This has nothing to do with the sentence about the law of the excluded middle. "The moon is not honest": the sentence is ambiguous on its own. >Excluded Middle, >Ambiguity, cf. >Sense, >Senseless._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
