Peter F. Strawson on Statements - Dictionary of Arguments
Meggle I 300 According to Hungerland Presupposition/Strawson: Definition "S requires S": The truth of S is a necessary condition of the truth or falsity of the claim that S. E.g. "All my children are fast asleep" presupposes "I have children." David RyninVsStrawson: from this interpretation follows, paradoxically, that all prerequisite statements were true: it should be: S>S" and ~ S>S"; but it is also true that Sv~S. It follows: S". In other words: (~ S"> ~ (Sv ~ S))> S is analytically true in a system of divalent propositional logic. --- Horwich I 186 Statement/Strawson: ambiguous: a) Saying, speech act b) the said, the content what is true or false - the plot is not true or false. AustinVsStrawson: s are the speech acts themselves which are w/f - or truth is attributed to speech acts.(1) >Speech acts. 1. Peter F. Strawson, "Truth", Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society, Suppl. Vol XXIV, 1950, in: Paul Horwich (ed.) Theories of Truth, Aldershot 1994 --- Strawson I 193 Statement/Strawson: more comprehensive than assertion. I 205 Statement/Strawson: the binding part of the sentence is the sign of saying "Socrates is ..." If this "is" is seen as autonomous, then no difference between A and B anymore. >"Is", >Copula, >Identity. II 246/47 Statement/Strawson: double meaning: a) what I say, b) my saying. It is about truth, regardless of whether the utterance was made. >Utterance/Strawson. StrawsonVsSpeech Act Theory: truth is not to be attributed to the event._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
