Peter F. Strawson on Particulars - Dictionary of Arguments
Graeser I 163 Particulars/Strawson: Particulars have priority in our conceptual system - ability to attribute consciousness to predicates necessary. Condition for them for physical predicates. >Attribution, >Physical/psychic, >Introduction/Strawson. Graeser I 224 Strawson: These particulars take precedence of processes or events that we could not identify without them. >Identification/Strawson, >Individuation/Strawson. --- Newen I 150 VsStrawson/Newen/Schrenk: why should just particulars be the most fundamental reference objects of subject terms and not events? - Strawson: because objects are recognizable after some time - his arguments are transcendental. --- Strawson I 35ff Particular/Strawson: as long as it is isolated from the rest of the knowledge, we can learn nothing new about it. I 51 Particular/Strawson: is there a class of particular on which all others depend? - Maybe dependent "private particular". Elementary: Class of People. Tradition: private particular: "Emotions" fundamental. I 52 Principium indivduationis/Strawson: is based on identity of persons. I 70 Particular/Strawson: material bodies: fundamental for the identification - not for process - StrawsonVsRussell: not biography instead of the names. >Acquaintance. I 72 Description of particular does not force to mention the process - but identification dependency of processes of the particulars in which they take place - because things require space, processes not always. >Space/Strawson, cf. >Process-ontology. I 175 Particular/properties/Strawson: one cannot only refer identifying to particulars - VsTradition: therefore object character is not a criterion for particulars. I 176 RamseyVs Particular/properties/RamseyVsTradition: from the fact that two things are linked, it does not follow that they must have different characters. >Reference/Strawson, >Particularization/Ramsey. Strawson: 1. grammatical criterion for distinguishing between things and activities 2. categorical criterion._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
