Roderick Chisholm on States of Affairs - Dictionary of Arguments
I 25f State of affairs/st.o.a/Chisholm: characterized by existence - but also impossible state of affairs: E.g. round-and-square - solution: whoever thinks it, thinks that it exists according to possibility - (he also thinks "There are quadrangles") - but no "unrealized possibilities". But: state of affairs exists like anything else! - non-composed state of affairs can be affirmative or negative. Negative state of affairs: if the property is not exemplified. I 64 Fact/fact/proposition/Chisholm: it is more natural to speak of accepting "propositions" than accepting facts. I 176 Fact/Chisholm: Definition involving: a involves b: whoever thinks a, thinks also b - Definition to contain: 1. if a exists, b also exists, 2. whoever accepts a, accepts b - E.g. a implies a v b, but does not involve it because you do not have to think a v b - a also does not include a v b, because you do not have to accept it - different with "and" -> intentional criteria for the identity of facts - >Conjunction/Chisholm, >Negation/Chisholm._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
