Comparisons | Quine | IX 150 Law of comparability/trichotomy law/Quine: "x << y v y << x" - a class is either smaller or equally large to the other or vice versa. Trichotomy: adds as a third: x << y v x ~ y v y << x. Either x is smaller as y or vice versa or both are equally large. VII (d) 78 Conceptual Scheme/Quine: we were born into it, but we can change it bit by bit, like Neurath's ship. VII (d) 79 But we cannot step outside, and objectively compare with an incomprehensible world. It is meaningless to understand the conceptual scheme as a mirror of reality ((s) which is then assumed to be unconceptual). II 14 Comparison/Language/World/Quine: the predication of the dog is to be compared with the predication of milk (in contrast to milk and dog, which are not to be compared). That Fifi is a dog, amounts to the simple fact that you always point to a dog when you point to Fifi. The same with milk. But Fifi is not a mass term, so Fifi's head does not count as a dog. In this way, predication produces the difference between individual and other terms. >Predication, >World/Thinking. XIII 190 Comparability/Quine: the different senses of the words could already be distinguished earlier in terms of comparability (differentiation by comparability). Comparability: is a sensor for equality of meaning. E.g. cool drinks and cool receptions cannot be compared. But only in the case of adjectives that allow comparison. >Comparability. |

Explanation | Droysen | Wright I 19 Explanation/Droysen/Wright, G. H.: Droysen shaped the methodological dichotomy of explanation and understanding. (J. G. Droysen, Grundriss der Historik, 1858). Wright: the methodological distinction made by Droysen originally had the form of a trichotomy: the philosophical method, the physical method and the historical method. The goals were to recognize, explain and understand. Science/Droysen: The aim of science is to explain, the aim of "history" is to understand the phenomena that fall within its domain. |

Relations | Quine | I 272f Opaque verb: "hunts lions" is nothing in relation, does not refer to a lion - relative term police chasing a man. --- I 361 Abstraction of relations, propositions and properties: opaque (> planets-example). --- I 295 Properties, relations: are meaning of timeless open sentences - is unidentifiable (like >propositions). --- I 362 Elimination of relations and properties in favor classes of ordered pairs, open sentences, general terms - even scattered objects (in the case of colors) Relativity: additional dimension: space-time: Point moments are absolutely different, independent of relative movement of the viewpoint. --- I 439 Abstract term "Equator", etc: can and should be reformulated. "Closer to the equator than": Relative Term - Or: by position of the sun - four-dimensional Space-Time coordinates (quintuple, hyper bodies, not Cartesian)>reintroduction of geomtretric object at the space-time points. --- I 462 Nominalism: cannot use relations, classes, etc. ("ancestor", "successor", "greater than", "the same number of", quantification) - but there are stages of renunciation. --- IX 17 IX 17 Relations/Quine: connex: ∀x∀y[x,y ε (R U ^R)''ϑ › x(R U ^R U I)y, - ((s) (R U ^R U I): E.g.
