Castaneda, H.-N. Boer Vs Castaneda, H.-N. Frank I 387
Castaneda: Thesis: both the singular indexical reference of the first person and the quasi indexical reference corresponding to it are conceptually irreducible. Boer/LycanVsCastaneda:
I 388
(1) Armand believes that he (himself) is happy.
(1.A) [The triadic relation] BELIEF connects Armand, an empty sequence of objects, and [the demonstrative] THAT > [which refers to a type of sentence that has the same general behavioral role in every language as our sentence] "I am happy."
Arrow: Showing/pointing action of the speaker
In square brackets: the analyst's comment concerning the following expressions.
THAT: implements Davidson's theory of indirect speech: it points to a sentence produced by the speaker placed merely phonetically or graphically beside the psychological verb.
Role of the sentence: (according to Sellars): in Def "point quotation marks": this signals the role that tokens of this type play in the behavioral economy of the speaker: Example "red" (in dot quotation marks) denotes the same role as a "rouge" placed in dot quotation marks. This is a gain in knowledge.
((s) Language independent! unlike Tarski).
This is a nominalistic analysis of "himself". (>Nominalism).
Castaneda: Question: 1. (diagonal argument from 3. I 337): propositions have truth values, problem: are there enough propositions to describe infinite properties?
2. Realism: asks: how can objects and cases of behavior be distinguished from each other without qualities or relations providing classification criteria and role characteristics?

Empiricism James Vs Empiricism I 57
JamesVsEmpiricism: "nominalism": empiricists assert that there is a term for any object. James: how about facts for which there is no concept?. - Worse: Language / James: supports the nominalist tendency to fragment the stream of consciousness.
Nevertheless, James developed a position of radical empiricism (VsRationalism, Vsempiricism that is represented by Hume.).
JamesVsHume: to be radical empiricism must neither accept elements that are not directly experienced, nor exclude elements that are experienced directly.
Radical empiricism / James:
1st Only those issues can be discussed, that are based on categories of observation.
2nd The relationships between the objects of experience are just as accessible as the objects themselves.
3rd connection as a result of the sequence of partial experience is itself an object of experience. The experience of this relationship is the power of consciousness.
4th No upfront construction of subjective consciousness.
Nominalism James Vs Nominalism I 30
James VsNominalism: inductive classification uncovers the "real identity of the phenomena". Cf. Order. >Empiricism:
I 57
JamesVsEmpiricism: supports a kind of "nominalism": empiricists assert that there is a term for any object. James: how about facts for which there is no concept?. - Worse: Language /James: supports the nominalist tendency to fragment the stream of consciousness.
Nominalism Castaneda Vs Nominalism Frank I 337
Belief/NominalismVsPropositions/Castaneda: instead sentence theories that understand belief as a relation between a believer and a particular sentence or a class of sentences. VsNominalism: Problem: There may not be enough sentence or attribute classes to carry nominalistic reductions.
