J.R. Searle on Scheme/Content - Dictionary of Arguments

III 176f
Scheme/Schema/Searle: that truth and falsehood change with schemata, does not mean that the reality changes. >Conceptual schemes
.
III 161
Def conceptual relativism/Searle: systems of representation such as vocabularies and conceptual schemata are human creations and therefore arbitrary. (Some philosophers believe that this is a problem for realism).
>Realism/Searle, >Reference system.
III 177
Of course, there are always problems of vagueness, indeterminacy, family resemblance, open texture, contextuality, incommensurability of theories, ambiguity, idealization, under determination of theory by the evidence.
But these are characteristics of our systems of representation, not of reality independent representations! Truth in a scheme is a property of the scheme!
>Reality7Searle, >Truth/Searle.
III 185
Every true representation is bound to certain aspects, but not to others. It is always bound within the framework of a certain conceptual scheme and from a certain point of view.
