Richard Mervyn Hare on Representation - Dictionary of Arguments
II 149 Language/representation/Hare: the analogy with the e.g. dance points to our possibility of reasoning about our language usage. This is a corrective against the orthodox representation theory, according to which "facts", "characteristics" and other dubious entities such as unreliable diplomats oscillate between language and world. >Language behavior, >Use, >Speech acts, >Representation, >World/Thinking, >World, >Reality. We do not need anything like that. It is simply that people try to understand each other. >Intersubjectivity, >Communication, >Community. II 150 Anamnesis/Platon: anamnesis is not just remembering, but rather "recalling". Hare: we know that we have understood something correctly without being able to cite reasons (knowledge/saying). The only test is to repeat it. >Anamnesis._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
