J.R. Searle on Scheme/Content - Dictionary of Arguments
III 176f Scheme/Schema/Searle: that truth and falsehood change with schemata, does not mean that the reality changes. >Conceptual schemes. III 161 Def conceptual relativism/Searle: systems of representation such as vocabularies and conceptual schemata are human creations and therefore arbitrary. (Some philosophers believe that this is a problem for realism). >Realism/Searle, >Reference system. III 177 Of course, there are always problems of vagueness, indeterminacy, family resemblance, open texture, contextuality, incommensurability of theories, ambiguity, idealization, under determination of theory by the evidence. But these are characteristics of our systems of representation, not of reality independent representations! Truth in a scheme is a property of the scheme! >Reality7Searle, >Truth/Searle. III 185 Every true representation is bound to certain aspects, but not to others. It is always bound within the framework of a certain conceptual scheme and from a certain point of view._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
