Bertrand Russell on Generality - Dictionary of Arguments
Tugendhat I 377 Existence/Russell/Tugendhat: R interprets the singular predicative statement as an existential statement and this as a general (overall) statement. >Existence statement, >Sentence, >Statement, >Generality. This was already anticipated by Kant and Frege. Then e.g. Present King of France etc. is always wrong. >Nonexistence, >Truth value. Tugendhat I 380 General statements/Quine: Thesis: basic statements are always general statements, and there are no singular statements at all. >Statement/Quine. StrawsonVsQuine: it is the general statements themselves that refer to singular statements when specifying their truth conditions - you cannot explain the use of a general sentence without the explanation of the use of singular sentences. >Statement/Strawson, >Sentence/Strawson, >Referene/Strawson._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
