Denotation | Quine | I 257 Indefinite terms do not denote objects. An indefinite singular term must therefore be in a purely denoting position: E.g. "The tax auditor is looking for someone" (the position is denoting - "someone" is not denoting). "Purely denoting" unambiguous (substitutability of identity) is not: "Tullius was a Roman" is trochaic - E.g. Tax auditor is looking for the director: -> propositional attitudes. Expression in quotation marks is not purely denoting. It has an ambiguous reference. Every truth function is transparent for denotation. Words denote, sentences do not denote (no singular term). Nevertheless, a sentence has a meaning: the singular term formed by bracketing of the sentence (this is no proposition). A proposition here is: completion of correct sentence to a timeless one. A timeless sentence is "The door is open": which door? This does not denote anything. I 413f Object: that what is denoted by singular terms, names and accepted as values. (But singular term is eliminated!) - E.g. "glimmer", but not "glimmeriness". II 61 ff Naming: is a name or singular term. Denoting: is to predict - both are referencing, not meaning various descriptions can name the same thing but have a different meaning. VII (a) 10ff Singular Term/Quine: a singular term must not denote. It has a gap between meaning and denotation. VII (c) 48ff Singular Terms/Quine: singular terms designate ("name"). >Singular Terms/Quine. A general term: means (denotes). - (> Descriptions). VII (h) 140 Purely denoting position/Quine: E.g. "Giorgione was called so because of his size". "So" is not purely denoting. Correct would be: "Giorgione was called Giorgione because...". This is then usable: "Barbarelli was called Giorgione because...". Missing substitutability signals is not a purely denoting position. One might say: The following incidents were non-denoting: "9" and "Evening Star" or "number of planets" in (15) - (17) but it is not about that. The point is that the substitution makes true statements false. |

Haecceitism | Chisholm | I 33f Haeccetism/Haeccitas/Chisholm: assumes a property "to be identical with me", the "this-ness" - comes from Frege/Husserl: everyone has his own idea of himself. ChisholmVsHaeccetism: no list of properties is possible. >Ontology, >Properties. I 36 Not each individual must have a detectable individual essence.

Quote/Disquotation | Quine | I 366 Beliefs and quotes can be understood as infinitely many different things (>Vagueness). >Beliefs/Quine. I 377 Indirect speech: to put oneself in the mind state of the speaker, is not a measure of accuracy (translation) - no objectively correct translation. VI 97 Spelling/Quine: dissolves the syntax and the lexicon of each content sentence and merges it with the language of the interpreter - it then has no more complicated syntax than e.g. the addition sign. VI 98 (3) (Ex)(Pirmin believes "x is a spy") - Quote: what is quoted in (3) is nothing more than the name of a sequence with twelve letters. The "x" in it has nothing to do with the outer "E.g." - therefore spelling - QuineVs propositional attitude de re. >Propositional Attitude/Quine, >de re/Quine. VII (c) 53+ Quote/Quine: any nonsense can appear as a quote within normal language - problem: then it is part of the normal sentence - then it is no longer possible to exclude it from the set of meaningful strings - solution: a) narrow the term normality b) narrow the term appear - problem: we have an interest in not limiting the strings on the already known. VII (h) 141 Quote/Quine: does not necessarily destroy reference: E.g. "Giorgione" appoints a chess player (is true when he played chess). |

Universal Instantiation | Quine | VII (h) 146 Definition Universal Instantiation/Quine: E.g. from everything is identical with itself, or (x) (x = x), we conclude Socrates = Socrates. - This is together with the existential generalization two aspects of the same principle - but not if the terms denote nothing. - E.g. Giorgione disappears (falsely) as opaque context in existential generalization: (Ex) (x has 6 letters) words: Something has 6 letters. - Even worse: it contains 6 letters - the prefix there is simply irrelevant, the sentence is just wrong. >Description levels. |
