E. Tugendhat on Meaning (Intending) - Dictionary of Arguments
I 232 Meaning (intenting)/Grice/Tugendhat: The speaker who uses the sentence "p" intends to cause the hearer to think that "p" is true. - A intends that B thinks that A thinks that p - (revised version). >Paul Grice. I 271 Def Meaning (intending)/Tugendhat: narrower form of belief: when the speaker has no intentions beyond the outcome of this game. Belief disposition is separable from it. One does not always mean p when one believes that p. Belief: has causes. >Beliefs. Meaning: can have causes in addition to causes. >Causes/reasons. Meaning: is not the expectation that p can be proved to be true - (because meaning is expectation anyway). To mean = intention to play (about this one can deceive the hearer). >Cf. >Game-theoretical semantics. Belief/Tugendhat: exists also in animals. >Animals, >Theory of Mind._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
