A. Prior on Sentences - Dictionary of Arguments
I 6 Sentences/Prior: sentences are different from what we want to say with them - as well as what we think is different from what we think about. >Sentences, >Propositions, >"About", >Intentionality, >Levels/order, >Description levels. I 13 Sentences/Prior: not about propositions - e.g. "The sentence S is only seemingly about propositions" is itself only seemingly about propositions." (solution: it is a sentence about the sentence) - E.g. "the proposition that the sun is hot, is true" about the sun. >Predication. I 19 Sentences/Prior: sentences denote nothing, just names. >Designation, >Proper names, >Sentences. Sentence: no relation between two names but between name and predicate that is expressed by the clause - expressing instead denoting. >Expressions, >Predicates. Instead of "fear +" that -sentence": "fear that" + sentence. Left hand side: predicate - rightright hand side: connection. >That, >That sentences. I 52f Sentence/PriorVsFrege: sentences denote nothing, not even "truth". >Truth value/Frege, >Meaning/Frege, >Fregean meaning._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
