Colour Frege Dummett I 60ff
Frege/Dummett: "When we see a blue surface, we have a peculiar impression that corresponds to the word "blue"; and we recognize it when we see another blue surface."
Dum I 60ff
But even in common language use an objective sense stands out: if you call snow white. E.g. if the snow is lighted with colored lights, the effect influences the assessment. It now appears red, but it is white. >Objectivity.
Even a color-blind person can speak of red and green. He/she can tell the difference because others make a distinction, or perhaps through a physical experiment. The color word does often not refer to our subjective sensation. The color-blind person can recognize it, because the others recognize it as such.
Frege: "Red": has a uniform reference, changing (Fregean) sense in speakers. (DummettVs)
>Fregean sense, >Fregean meaning, >Meaning, >Reference, >Sense.

Commands Frege II 53
Commands/intention: Frege: the thought has an "oblique meaning" (German: "ungerade Bedeutung"). The imperative is "oblique speech" (German: "ungerade Rede"). It has no "meaning" only "sense". Command and wish are no thoughts, but they are on the same level. The "meaning" of the imperative is the command. >Fregean sense, >Fregean meaning, >Meaning, >Sense, >Thoughts, >Oblique sense, >Oblique meaning.

Consciousness Frege Dummett I 60ff
Frege: the content of consciousness are sensations, but not the mind or thoughts. These are the detection of the exterior.

Correspondence Theory Sellars II 22
Correspondence/Sellars: the relation of linguistic and non-linguistic entities is an activity. It is reflecting projection. All true statements are true in the same sense (like Frege). They differ in that they construct in different ways a projection of the world in the subjects.
>World/thinking, >Reality, >World, >Truth, >Statements, >Correspondence relation.
Projection/Sellars: but the projection belongs more to the realm of thought acts than to the statements.
>Thinking/Sellars, >Language and thought.
---
II 334
Summary 1) The correspondence that we were looking for is limited to elementary statements.
2) It is about the fundamental role that actual statements (or thought acts) play. Like the pawns in chess: e.g. "Chicago is big."
3) All true statements are "true" in the same sense, but they differ in their roles:
 2 + 2 = 4 plays a different role than "this is red". The role consists in constituting a projection in the language users of the world they live in.
>Language use, >Language game, >Language community, >Meaning, >Truth value, >Fregean meaning.
Sellars: pro redundancy theory: if the picture corresponds, you are convinced that "this is green" is true, so you are convinced: this is green.
>Redundancy theory.

Counterfactuals Frege II 64 f
Counterfactual/Frege: "If iron was lighter than water, it would float on water."
Here, we have the two notions that iron is not lighter, and that something that is lighter floats on water. The subordinate clause again expresses the one notion and a part of the other notion.
>Thought, >Clause,
E.g. "After Schleswig-Holstein was cut off from Denmark, Prussia and Austria quarreled."
Here, the subordinate clause expresses not only one notion, but also part of the other. Therefore, it cannot be replaced generally by another of the same truth value.
>Truth value.
II 64
Cases in which this simply does not work: 1) That the subordinate clause means no truth value because it only expresses part of a thought.
2) That it does mean a truth value, but does not limit itself to it, because its sense still comprises a portion of the other thought and not only one thought.
The first case occurs:
a) In the case of the odd meaning of the words.
b) If a part of the sentence only vaguely suggests, instead of being a proper name.
>Fregean sense, >Fregean meaning,
>Proper names, >Oblique sense, >Oblique meaning.

Denotation Frege Berka I 387
Designate/denote/meaning/Frege: ("sense and meaning"): denotation has a two-dimensional semantics. It identifies designation and meaning function (because of a lack of content in logic.) denote
sense < ----(express)---- name ----(mean)---- > meaning

>Sense, >Fregean sense, >Fregean meaning, >Meaning; cf. >Twodimensional semantics.

Frege/Berka: Frege thus equates designating with meaning.
Frege I 87
Variable/designating/designation/denotationFrege: "x" designates nothing. X only indicates numbers. Hence, e.g. "x² + 3x" designates nothing. The entire function only indicates. By contrast, "sin" (sine) is a sign which designates but it is still no law! A lawis : e.g., "y = sin x". >Laws.

Extensionality Prior I 48
Extensionality: "Law of extensionality": if the sentences S1 and S2 have the same truth value, then, each composite sentence that differs only in that it has S1 as a subset , where the other has S2 as a subset, also the same truth value. >Truth values, >Truth, >Extensions, >Clauses.
PriorVs: one can count mixed constructions like "__is green and__" also "__believes that__" into the same category as the simple. - If the law of extensionality is true, then must "grass is pink" and "grass is purple" be the same thought.
>Thoughts, >Thought/Frege, cf. >Fregean meaning, >Fregean sense.
Solution: "x thinks, grass is pink" is not a compound sentence with "grass is pink" as a component.
Cf. >Compositionality, >Thinking, >Sentences, >Propositions.
I 50
Extensionality/Prior: Lesniewski/Lukasiewicz: if one drops the E, one must admit that some propositions are neither true nor false. >St. Lesniewski, >J. Lukasiewicz.
PriorVsExtensionality: truth value of a statement depends not only on its truth value. (Circular).
>Circular reasoning.
I 93
Law of extensionality: propositions with the same truth value are identical. >Identity, cf. >Equivalence.
I 139
Extensionality/Prior: "cause", "bring about" seems to be the most extensional operator: the one who brings p about, brings everything into existence ipso facto, what is equivalent with p. Cf. >Command/Prior.
But it does not bring into existence what it contains (entailment, asymmetric implication ): E.g. someone is caught by the FBI and a communist, but that does not bring about, that he is a communist.
>Causation, >Entailment/Prior.

Fregean Sense Hintikka II 48
Fregean Sense/Hintikka: Fregean senses are special entities in Frege, in order to be able to function as referents in intensional contexts at all. For example, to restore the inference in the example (morning star/evening star), we do not need the
identity of morning star and evening star, but the identity of the Fregean sense of "morning star" and "evening star".
II 49
N.B.: but Frege does not reinterpret the identity in the expression morning star = evening star itself in this way. Indeed, he cannot express this because there the identity is present in an extensional context, and later in an intensional context. Identity/Frege/Hintikka: therefore one cannot say that Frege reinterprets our normal concept of identity.
Problem: it is not even clear whether Frege can express the identity of the senses by means of an explicit sentence. For, in his own formal language (in "Begriffsschrift"(1) and "fundamental laws"(2)) there is no sentence that could do so. This is what he himself says in "About Sense and Meaning": we can only refer to the senses of our expressions by prefixing the prefix "the meaning of". However, Frege never uses it himself.
Cf. >Sense, >Meaning, >Fregean meaning, >Reference, >Terminology/Frege.

Idealism McDowell I 209
Idealism/VsMcDowell/McDowell: his opponents could speak of a "danger of idealism": idealistic basic mood of the "elimination of the outer boundary". >Limit/McDowell.
This eludes us a possibility which we should not renounce: the possibility of direct contact between the spiritual and the objects.
We became aware of this possibility in the criticism VsRussell, theory of descriptions.
If one accepts the world as all that is the case, then the world is subordinated to the realm of Fregean sense ("kingdom of the conceivable").
>Description/Russell, >Fregean sense.
Then there are not episodes and acts of thought but identity. Facts in this sense are thoughts; The conceivable, which is the case.

Intension/extension: is distinguished within the realm of the reference - reference: any linguistic expression is simply an intension.
Intension: is simply something that is the element of a D's ((s) of any meaning category.)
>Meaning category.
Intension: that what is known if one knows the meaning of a simple predicate.

Intensions Geach I 226
Meaning/reference/Frege/Geach: Frege's distinction is not the same as between intension/extension. >Extension, >Reference, >Meaning, >Fregean sense, >Fregean meaning.
I 227
Term/Concepts/Frege: Frege has a purely extensional view. - Therefore there is no "sense of the name" but reference of the predicate. >Extensionality, >Predicate/Frege, >Sense, >Object/Frege, >Concept/Frege.
((s) Reference/(s): set of the mentioned items, = Extension).
But:
Extension/Frege: = object
Concept/Frege: no object.
The reason for this is: a term is unsaturated, an object saturated. "Red" does not stand a term - otherwise the term would be a name.
((s) The concepts "intension" and "extension" were coined later by Carnap.)

Intentionality Frege II 52
Purpose/intention: Frege: the purpose is a thought, therefore it has an "oblique meaning" (German: ungerade Bedeutung). Imperative: is "oblique speech" (German: ungerade Rede) and has no "meaning" only "sense". Command and wish are no thoughts, but on the same level. The "meaning" of the instruction sentence: is the command. >Fregean sense, >Fregean meaning, >Oblique speech (= quote to the point), >Thought, >Intention.

Meaning Frege Husted V 103
Def "Sense" (meaning) of the sentence: the sense of the sentence is its truth condition.
II 41
Meaning: the meaning is what the sign signifies, e.g. the planet Venus, the extension. It is that what one wants to talk about. >Extension.
II 42
Sense: the sense is the way of givenness, e.g. the meaning of "the intersection of b and c" is other than "a and b" (even though the point is identical). Significance is illuminated only one-sidedly by the sense.
>Fregean sense, >Fregean meaning, >Intension, >Sense.
II 42
Example: “The celestial body that is farthest away from the Earth”. There is no doubt that these words have a meaning but it is uncertain if there is an object satisfiying it. >Reference.
II 69
The "meaning" of a name is never a concept (predicate) but always a subject.
II 43
Meaning/sense/Frege: meaning and sense are not the same. The meaning of a word or name is a real object. Sense: is not based on a person like an idea, e.g. there is a sense of "par excellence". See also Fregean Sense, >Imagination.

Values: the assertions (truth conditions).
>Functions, >Use, >Use theory (only for words, not for sentences).
I 432
Meaning/Tugendhat: function whose arguments are the speech situations and their values ​​are the objects . "The meaning maps the speech situations on the items". Vs: that is metalinguistically - it requires understanding of " I " , "here", etc. first to understand - (because demontratives are not names). Substitutability is the meaning of demonstratives.
>Understanding, cf. >Speaker meaning, >Substitution, >Demonstratives.

II 231
Meaning/Frege/Tugendhat: should not be translate as "reference". Only where Frege conceives sentences as a proper name. >Reference, >Fregean meaning, >Fregean sense, >Sense.
Frege distinguishes between reference of names and truth values of sentences.
>Truth values, >Sentences.

Otherwise error/Frege: ... that you can mingle meaning and concept on the one hand and meaning and subject matter on the other hand. - Correct: "What two concept words ( predicates ) mean is the same iff the corresponding extents (value progression) coincide. >Value progression, >Term scope.

((s) Use/mention/Wessel/(s): E.g. "The Inselsberg is referred to by the term Inselsberg": 1. incident used as a term, and designates the object,
2. the word is not used here as a term, but mentioned as a physical object
Inselsberg: is mentioned - name: is used.
Mention: = quote (quotes).
Instead of quotation marks: t: t A: name of statement A - "the statement A".
I 352
Incident/mention/use/Wessel: 1. Term or statement A occurs as a term or statement in: E.g. ~ A or A and B.
2. merely as a physical thing (darkness, sound) in E.g. "the statement A" (tA), or "the facts that A" (sA) - E.g. from "Ließchen says a" (only graphically A) and A ↔ B does not follow "Ließchen says B" - therefore it always needs to be defined what must be regarded as incident of a term.
(s) A sound cannot be true or false.

"Odd"/Frege: occurrence as merely graphical part. >Odd sense, >Odd meaning, >Fregean sense, >Fregean meaning, >G. Frege.
Extensionality rule: statements can be replaced by identical ones in meaning, but not any graphical parts.
>Extensionality, >Extensions.
Wessel: the extensionality rule is here not applicable. - Because intensional rules are very similar to extensional ones, but sometimes replacing of graphical parts by genuine statements.
I 353
Planets example /Wessel: Quine does not differentiate between graphic and genuine occurrence. Only identity sentences: evening star = morning star, number of planets = 9 and then substitutability for identities. >Substitution, >Substitutability, >Identity, >Morning star/evening star, >Planets example.
WesselVsQuine: See them as compound expressions: then evening star unequal morning star, as simple equal (for Venus).

Numbers Frege II 18 f
Numbers/Frege: e.g. 16 = 4², 4 x 4 = 4². Here we see that equality of meaning does not lead to equality of thought. >Fregean sense, >Fregean meaning, >Thoughts, >Equality, >Equations.
II 66 ff
The figure contains the expression of a concept. >Concepts. Properties will be expressed by a concept. A concept may fall under a higher one. E.g. there is at least one square root of 4. This is not a statement about a certain number 2, nor about -2, but about a concept, namely the square root of 4.
II 81 f
There are no variable numbers. Variable: do we not denote variable numbers by x, y, z? This way of speaking is used, but these letters are not proper names of variable numbers, like "2" and "3" are proper names of constant numbers. We cannot specify which properties "x" has in contrast to y. >Variables.
Variable: is not a proper name of an indefinite or variable number. X has no properties (only in the context). "Indefinitely" is not an adjective, but an adverb for the process of calculating.
Generality/Frege: generality is not a meaning but a hint.
Proper Names: π, i, e are not variables!
Generality: here, the number has to play two roles: as an object it is called a variable, as a property, it is called a value.
Function: has generality, is a law. To any number of the x-range a number from the y-range is assigned. A function is not a variable! (An elliptic function is not an elliptic variable). The function is unsaturated. >Unsaturated.
II 77
Number/object/calculating/addition/Frege: only from the meaning of the words "the number 4" (Frege: = object) we can say that it is the result of combining 3 and 1. Not of the concept. Calculation result: is an object, the result of the calculation: is not a concept.
II 85
Number/Frege: e.g. "a variable takes on a value". Here, the number has to play two roles: as an object it is called a variable, as a property, it is called a value.
I 38
Numbers/Frege: from physical observations no conclusions can be drawn about numbers.
I 47
Quantity/Frege: quantity is a concept. Number: is an object. >Objects.
I 48
Numbers/Newton: numbers are the ratio of each size to another. FregeVsNewton: here, the notions of size and ratio are presupposed.
I 49
Numbers/Frege: Problem: numbers as sets: here, the concept of quantity is pressupposed.
I 60
Number/Frege: number is no multiplicity. That would exclude 0 and 1.
I 62
Number/one/unit/property/Frege: "One" cannot be a property. Otherwise, there would be no thing that does not have this property.
I 82
Not the objects but the concepts are the bearers of the number. Otherwise, different numbers could be assigned to the same example. Thus the abstraction is accompanied by a judgment.
I 90
A number is not the property of a concept. Number: is an abstract object, not a property -> see below. Number Equality/equality: number equality is a concept (not an object).
I 100/101
Def Quantity/Frege: the quantity which belongs to the concept F is the scope of the concept equal numbered to the concept F.
I 100
Scope/concept scope/Frege: if the straight a is parallel to straight b, then the scope of the concept of straight parallel to straight a is equal to the scope of the concept straight parallel to the straight b and vice versa - scope equality. >Term scope, >Equality.
I 110
Number/Frege/(s): comes from the distinction concept term scope (quantity)/object (number). If the object is zero, the quantity that belongs to this concept is one. ((s) This is how Frege gets from 0 to 1: one is the number-of objects falling under the concept "equal-to-zero", namely one object. Zero ist the number of objects falling under the concept "equal-to-zero-and-not-equal-to-zero").
>Zero, >One.
I 121
Numbers/Frege: numbers are not concepts. They are (abstract) objects (see above). Quantities are concepts.
I 128
Term: e.g. square root of -1. This cannot be used with the definite article.
I 135
Number/Frege: a number is neither heaps of things, nor a property of such.
I 130
Number system/expansion/Frege: in the expansion, the meaning is not be established arbitrarily. E.g. the meaning of the square root is not already invariably established before the definitions, but it is determined by them. ((s) Frege: wants to point at the meaning as use within a system.). The new numbers are given to us as scopes of concepts.
I 136
Each figure is an equation. >Equations.
Berka I 83
Number/Frege: numbers must be defined in order to be able to present completeness of evidence at all - (> sequence).(1)

Proper Names Frege I 54
Proper name/Frege: for a proper name the extension is presumed. Otherwise, the negation would be: "Kepler did not die in misery or the name is meaningless". >Extension.
II 69
The "meaning" of a name is never a concept (predicate), but always only an object. >Concept, >Object, >Predicate.
II 72f
Proper name/Frege: a proper name (saturated) can never be a predicate (but part of a predicate). Names/understanding/Frege: understanding a name means to know what object it denotes. Problem: are names without a carriers (e.g. unicorn). Problem: e.g. different names with the same carrier.
>Unicorn-example, >Non-existence.

The fact that a name stands for an object is a consequence rather than part of the fact that it has a certain sense. >Fregean sense, >Fregean meaning,

Chisholm II 144f
Names/Frege: "mixed proper name": contains linguistic and non-linguistic parts: the circumstances. Circumstances: are part of the meaning of an expression. >Circumstances. ChisholmVsFrege: he neglects ostension.

Dummett III 68f
Names/FregeVsRussell: names may well have the same sense as a specific description - what is actually considered to be a representation of an object: Valencia from the air, from the ground, within a specific buildind, or on the map? Recognition: necessary: is ​​the awareness that the object falls under the concept that determines the proper identity criterion (here: "city"). This is the ability for recognition instead of the method of picking out ("red": is recognition, not a method for red). >Recognition.

Frege II 69
Name/Frege: a name can never be a predicate - but certainly part of a predicate. >Predicate.
Stalnaker I 183
Names/proper names/Frege/Stalnaker: for him there is a mental representation, i.e. we only have ideas about something that presents itself to us in a certain way. ((s) This can be reconciled with Donnellan’s attributive use). >Attributive/referential.

Propositions Castaneda Frank I 323
Propositions/Tradition: (not represented by anyone in pure form, not even by Frege): ideal convergence of the elements of thought, speech, reality and communication. >Convergence, >Communication, >Thought objects, >Belief objects, >Content, >G. Frege.
Propositions that are primarily defined as carriers of timeless truth values, fundamental support of linguistic meaning as constituents of reality and as publicly accessible contents of communication.
>Propositions, >Communication, >Truth values.
Advantage: that leaves no gap between the content of thought, and that to which it is directed - for reality arise.
>Reference, >Reality, >World/Thinking.
CastanedaVs: this does not apply to indexical sentences.
>Indexicality, >Index Words.
Individuation: of indexical sentences: in the speech act, not by meaning.
>Individuation.
I 340ff
Proposition/Tradition: (Frege, Moore): 1) psychological units,
2) ontological,
3) ontologically objective (intersubjective)
4) metaphysical units
5) logical units
6) semantic
7) linguistic units of communication.
CastanedaVs: there are discrepancies between 1 - 7 in the case of diachronic flow of experiences in the changing world.
VsTradition: fails with indexical reference with "I", "here", "now".
Problem: E.g. "I have 30 grams of nitrogen in my liver": understanding is possible without knowledge of the truth value.
>Understanding, >Truth value, >Truth conditions.
Therefore meaning unequal truth value (VsFrege) - what is meant by the formation of a sentence is not some objective feature or thing in the world that is accessible to everyone.
>Meaning, >Meaning/Frege, >Fregean Sense, >Fregean meaning.

M. Frank (Hrsg.)
Analytische Theorien des Selbstbewusstseins Frankfurt 1994
Reference Reference, philosophy: reference means a) the relation between an expression and one or more objects, thus the reference or b) the object (reference object) itself. Terminological confusion arises easily because the author, to whom this term ultimately goes back - G. Frege - spoke of meaning (in the sense of "pointing at something"). Reference is therefore often referred to as Fregean meaning in contrast to the Fregean sense, which describes what we call meaning today. See also meaning, sense, intension, extension.


Reference Anscombe Frank I 87
Reference/Frege/Anscombe: there is no way back from the reference to the meaning. >Sense, >Meaning.
Each object has many modes of givenness or description modes.
>Way of givenness.
Intension/"I"/Anscombe: because of the peculiarity of the construction it succeeds to determine an object, despite the theoretically many possibilities of the way of being given: for we do not want to assume "Smith does not realize the identity with Smith".
>Intension.
If we consider the reflexive in the ordinary sense, this would be possible.
"I"/Special Reflexivum/Anscombe: the special reflexivum can only be explained from the point of view of the first person.
>First person.
Frege: we have not already understood the meaning when a person is told of what object a person will speak of when he says "I" whether he knows it or not.
>Fregean sense, >Fregean meaning.
However, the use of "I" ensures that the speaker knows it, but we still have a right to ask what he knows!

Sense/Meaning/CastanedaVsFrege: Guise Theory: (of designs): Vs distinction sense/meaning. >Guise-Theory.
From this also follows: VsFrege: indirect speech does not lose its reference - expressions always denote the same thing, namely guises (designs).
VsPerry: that also makes his distinction of designating and expressing unnecessary.
I 432ff
Extra-Sense/Castaneda: E.g. Ivan believes that he* is required on the phone - here is (Ivan) Ivan referencce) and ego(Ivan) its special meaning i - in an assertion of speaker a "I" expresses ego(a). PerryVsCastaneda: this explanation leads to a gap in the theory of reports of beliefs - anyone who can believe anything of Ivan, can believe the corresponding proposition of Ivan that "i" is required on the phone - KretzmannVs: still private, not even God could grasp extra-sense - PerryVs: misunderstanding, "he*" cannot be replaced by description without Index - but that does not mean that the proposition "he himself is in the hospital" can be known by none other - "i"/PerryVsCastaneda: different psychological role for Ivan and Sheila still has to be explained - that Ivan but not Scheila is the reference is not enough - Ivan must also believe that he* is i, but that is initially nothing more than that i is i! - And Sheila also believes that - in addition: information that it is about their own extra-sense.
Problem: the extra-sense does not help if Ivan does not know that he was appointed Editor. - Facts about the language are no solution.

Sense Frege Dummett III 56 ff
Sense/Frege: two arguments: 1) The sentence is the smallest unit.
2) Truth plays the crucial role in explaining the meaning.
>Fregean sense, >Fregean meaning.
Sense: sense is part of the meaning and relevant for truth or falsehood. The meaning of a sentence, as such, does not determine the truth. So the sense only determines the truth conditions.
Truth also depends on nature of the world. When sense determines the semantic value, the contribution of the world is already presumed.
Dummett III 64
Sense/Reference/Frege: the argument (a sentence is the smallest unit of sense) has two premises: a) all predicative knowledge is based on propositional knowledge,
b) for certain predicative knowledge there is more than just one proposition.
Therefore, no mere knowledge of the reference is possible.
Dummett III 74
Sense/Dummett: sense is not only acquired by verification method, but by understanding the circumstances which must be realized (e.g. Goldbach’s conjecture). Sense/reference/bivalence/Dummett: bivalence: Problem: not every sentence has such a sense that we can, in principle, recognize it as true if it is true (unicorn, Goldbach’s conjecture). But Frege’s argument does not depend on bivalence.
>Bivalence.
Dummett III 76
Bivalence does apply, however, for elementary propositions: if the semantic value here is the extension, it does not have to be decided whether the predicate is true or not. It may not be possible to effectively decide the application, but the (undefined) predicate can be understood without being able to allocate the semantic value (here truth value). Therefore, there is a distinction between sense and semantic value.
Dummett III 133
Sense/Frege/Dummett: sense is constituted by the manner of givenness but it is not identical with it.
Husted V 100f
Meaning/sense/Frege/Husted: if both were equal, a sentence could not say anything that everyone who knows the name did not know already. The meaning of a name: is the object. The fact that a name stands for an object is a result, not part of the fact that it has a purpose.
V 103
Frege: the sense of the sentence is the truth condition >Understanding/Dummett, >Understanding/Wittgenstein - Understanding, knowing what must be the case.

(2) morning star and morning star are the same.
(1) and (2) do not have the same meaning - E.g. a = a is not the same sense as a = b.
>Identity, >Identity/Frege.
N.B.: nevertheless m.s. and e.s. have the same meaning (reference).
>Reference, >Meaning, >Fregean sense, >Fregean meaning.
Meaning/Frege: meaning of a statement: the truth value (object).
>Truth values.
Sense of a statement/Frege: thought, content, proposition.
((s) decisive place in the literature).
>Thought, >Content, >Proposition.
Truth value/MatesVsFrege: Truth values do not exist. - Vet Mates per Frege, without Frege's metaphysics.
The sense (manner of presentation) uniquely determines the meaning (reference).
>Way of givenness, cf. >Intension, >Extension.

I 338
Sense/meaning/Termini/Wessel: difference sense/reference: only with composite Terms. Simple terms: here the distincten is pointless: "What is meaning, what is truth?"
Because simple term are predicates, not subjects.
"Sense of terms": this is a meaningless question, because it is not to discover a term, only the ability of users.
The meaning of a term is only operationalist: the sense is known if the meaning is known.
>Operationalism.
This does not apply to composite terms: here: we have compositionality, but the meaning of the parts needs not to be known.
>Compositionality.
Then we do not know the meaning of the composite term.
E.g. Round square: there is no method for determining the meaning.

Sentences Prior 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.

Terminology Frege Frege, German Original: "gerade Rede" = "normal speech", i.e. "gerade" = normal.
Normal speech/Frege: normal speech is a literal quote. Oblique speach is an analogous quote. The oblique meaning (of a word) is its normal sense (!)

Chisholm II 146
Frege/saturated/unsaturated: by Husserl: are dependent/independent clauses. ---
Frege II 58
Hypothetical Judgment/German original: "hypothetisches Urteil"/Frege: a hypothetical judgment is an implication. ---
I I29
Unsaturated: is e.g. "capital city of". Saturated: is e.g. "Deutsches Reich".
I 72f
Term = is the meaning of a predicate, unsaturated, predicative, of something. Subject matter: is saturated and never the whole meaning of a predicate. A proper name (saturated) can never be a predicate (but part of a predicate). Thought: a part must be unsaturated, as a binder - example: "falls under".
I 87
Function: is unsaturated.
I 88
Function/Frege: a function sign is unsaturated, e.g. "sin" (sine). On the other hand: it is saturated by connection with numeric signs (argument): e.g. "sin 1" - is each time a number. Value of the function.
I 89
Thus, we can also call functions self-unsaturated.
I 88
Number sign/Frege: e.g. "2" is saturated. On the other hand: the function sign, e.g. "sin" (sine) is unsaturated. ---
IV 70/71
Body/Frege: the body does not need to be supplemented. > ((s) objects are saturated).
IV 11
Terminology/Frege: "subter": is an individual/class or subject/term and corresponds to "ε". Epsilon/Frege/ (s): epsilon always denotes that an individual is contained, not a subset. On the other hand: "sub": is a class/class or term/term - this corresponds to the horseshoe ⊂ (subset).

Mental structure/Frege: 1. type: A u B - 2. type: ~(A u B). - 3. type: ~A u ~ B. - 4. type: ~(~A u ~B). 1.-4. are interchangeable in order. 5. type ~A u B - 6. type: ~(~A u B). >Fregean sense, >Fregean meaning

Thoughts Frege Dummett I 62
Consciousness Content/Frege/Dummett: the content of consciousness are sensations but not meaning. Thoughts: thoughts are the grasping of external things.
Dummett I 19
Thought/Thinking/Frege: thought is not identical with the meaning of the sentence - beings with identical thoughts are possible without linguistic cover.
Frege II 47
Frege: a sentence about a non-existent unicorn is without truth value, predicates cannot be attributed or denied - the thought is the same, whether there is reference ("meaning") or not. Thought: is a sentence without truth value (because "meaning" (reference) is unresolved) - the same thought in an actor without meaning - judgment: is progress from thought to its truth value.
>Fregean sense, >Fregean meaning.
II 71
Truth Value: a truth value cannot be one part of a thought, as little as the sun can, because it is not a sense, but an object (truth value = object). >Truth value, >Object.
II 76
Thought: one part must be unsaturated, as a binding agent, e.g. "falls under". Thought: not all parts of the thought may be complete, at least one should be unsaturated (predicative), otherwise they would not stick together.
Dummett I 32
Frege: grasping the thought: is psychic act. The thought is not the content of consciousness. Consciousness is subjective, the thought is objective - WittgensteinVs.
>">Objectivity.

Frege IV 52
Thought/Frege: there is not a complete thought without a time determination. But then it is timelessly true or false. Expression/assertion/Frege: there is a difference: time determination belongs to the expression whereas truth belongs to assertion and is timeless. Timeless things are not part of the external world.
>Truth, >Timelessness.
---
Stuhlmann-Laeisz II 47 ff
Thought/Frege: a thought is not the sentence meaning (reference), because it is possible common property of many thinkers (content, objective). Sense of the sentence: is the expressed thought (abstract).
Unequal content: sense can be grasped without knowing whether the sentence has a meaning (reference, existing object).
Thought/Frege: a thought is abstract. Contradiction: content, idea.
Stuhlmann-Laeisz II 57ff
Odd Meaning/Frege: odd meaning refers to the expressed thoughts - (thought: abstract, unequal content).
Stuhlmann-Laeisz II 66ff
Thought/identity criterion for thoughts/Frege/St: sentence A contains the same idea as sentence B, if (i) the assumption that A and B lead to a contradiction - (ii) vice versa - that allows us to conceive thoughts as invariant abstractions - (>partial identity: identity of thoughts) Invariant: is the thought. The thought contained in a sentence is what element A has in common with all the propositions which are logically equivalent to A, and that changes when we move on to a proposition B which is not logically equivalent to A.
Stuhlmann-Laeisz II 68
Thought/Frege/St: a thought is that element of an assertion that can be true or false, and which is the object of the believing-to-be-true of epistemic subjects. >Propositions.

Truth Values Prior I 51
Truth/"the true"/Frege: all phrases denote "truth": because there are no different truths for different sentences, so as it is always the same truth that various accounts are true. Analogy: sentences denote the truth, as number names name numbers.
>Truth value/Frege, >Meaning/Frege, >Fregean meaning.
PriorVsFrege: false analogy: does not work with propositional attitude: "X believes that p" does not have to be wrong if p is false.
>Propositions.
((s) while different argument values provide other function values, one can attribute to the other any belief-attitudes (also false) without prejudging with it, if he can believe it (i.e. whether the compound sentence gets wrong).)
I 63
Truth value/Prior: so we make up the term "truth value" for what we describe as identical if the condition (0) is true: (0) Eφy i.e. "If φ then y and if y then φ".
Notation Lesniewski: E = equivalence).
Because the truth value is the description of the identical, truht value itself is not the "signified" (VsFrege).

The author or concept searched is found in the following 4 controversies.
Disputed term/author/ism Author Vs Author
Entry
Reference
Bundle Theory Newen Vs Bundle Theory New I 233
Def Reference/Newen: Relation between the occurrence of a singular term and the object thus designated. ((s) i.e. general terms do not refer?).
Names/Proper Names/Newen: two problems:
1) Reference definition: how is the reference determined
2) Meaning: what is the meaning of a name.
Names/Description Theory/Newen: E.g. "Aristotle": the meaning would then be "student of Plato".
Vs: Problem: it could be that someone does not know that Aristotle was a student of Plato, but otherwise uses the name correctly.
Bundle Theory/Solution/Searle/Newen/(s): it should not happen that a single failure refutes the entire theory, therefore, a bundle of descriptions should be decisive, not a single description.
I 234
Bundle Theory/Reference Definition/Searle/Newen: Searle's bundle theory simultaneously regards itself as a theory of reference definition. Names/Proper Names/KripkeVsBundle Theory/KripkeVsDescription Theory/KripkeVsSearle/Kripke/Newen: (modal argument): there is a necessary condition for Def meaning equality/Kripke:

(meaning equality) if two expressions a1 and a2 have the same meaning, they are mutually replaceable in sentences that are introduced by the modal operator "It is necessary that", without changing the truth value.
I 235
E.g. It is necessary that Aristotle is K. Here, "student of Plato" is not usable. Hence the name "Aristotle" (quotation marks by Newen) cannot have the same meaning as "student of Plato".
Description Theory/Meta-Linguistic/Names/Newen: special case description theory of proper names: the so-called meta-linguistic description theory:
E.g. the meaning of the name Aristotle can be specified with the description "The bearer of the name "Aristotle"."
Point: this description captures the context-independent knowledge of a speaker with respect to the name.
KripkeVs/Newen: if the modal argument is also true for the meta-linguistic theory, it cannot be right: it is indeed necessary that Aristotle is Aristotle, but not necessary that Aristotle is
I 236
the bearer of the name "Aristotle". He could have been given a different name. Object Theory/Meaning/Names/Proper Names/Newen: Thesis: The meaning of a name is the designated object.
A variation of this theory is Russell's theory of the meaning of logical proper names. ("dis", etc.)
Epistemology/VsRussell/Newen: Russell's epistemology proved untenable.
Solution/Newen: Reference definition by a description: "The only object that satisfies the description associated with the concept "E" (quotation marks by Newen)".
Frege: was the first to specify this (in his theory of sense and meaning)
Names/Frege/Newen: the Fregean meaning of a name is the designated object.
Reference Definition/Frege/Newen: through description. This is Frege's theory of sense.
Sense/Frege/Newen: through description (= reference definition for proper names).
Names/Frege/Newen: Frege combines an object theory of meaning with a description theory of reference definition.
I 237
((s) KripkeVsFrege/KripkeVsDescription Theory/Newen/(s): Kripke also criticized the description theory of reference definition: E.g. Schmidt was the discoverer of the incompleteness theorem, not Gödel. Nevertheless, we refer with "Gödel" to Gödel, and not to an object which is the singled out with a description that can be true or not.) Solution/Kripke: causal theory of proper names.

Frege, G. Wittgenstein Vs Frege, G. Brandom I 919
TractatusVsFrege: nothing can be considered an assertion, if not previously logical vocabulary is available, already the simplest assertion assumes the entire logic. ---
Dummett I 32
Frege capturing of thought: psychic act - thought not the content of consciousness - consciousness subjective - thought objective - WittgensteinVs
I 35
WittgensteinVsFrege: no personal objects (sensations), otherwise private language, unknowable for the subject itself. WittgensteinVsFrege: Understanding no psychic process, - real mental process: pain, melody (like Frege).
Dummett I 62
Wittgenstein's criticism of the thought of a private ostensive definition states implicitly that color words can have no, corresponding with the Fregean assumption, subjective, incommunicable sense. (WittgensteinVsFrege, color words). But Frege represents anyway an objective sense of color words, provided that it is about understanding.
Dummett I 158
WittgensteinVsDummett/WittgensteinVsFrege: rejects the view that the meaning of a statement must be indicated by description of their truth conditions. Wittgenstein: Understanding not abruptly, no inner experience, not the same consequences. ---
Wolf II 344
Names/meaning/existence/WittgensteinVsFrege: E.g. "Nothung has a sharp blade" also has sense if Nothung is smashed.
II 345
Name not referent: if Mr N.N. dies, the name is not dead. Otherwise it would make no sense to say "Mr. N.N. died". ---
Simons I 342
Sentence/context/copula/tradition/Simons: the context of the sentence provided the copula according to the traditional view: Copula/VsTradition: only accours as a normal word like the others in the sentence, so it cannot explain the context.
Solution/Frege: unsaturated phrases.
Sentence/WittgensteinVsFrege/Simons: context only simply common standing-next-to-each-other of words (names). That is, there is not one part of the sentence, which establishes the connection.
Unsaturation/Simons: this perfectly matches the ontological dependence (oA): a phrase cannot exist without certain others!
---
Wittgenstein I 16
Semantics/Wittgenstein/Frege/Hintikka: 1. main thesis of this chapter: Wittgenstein's attitude to inexpressibility of semantics is very similar to that of Frege. Wittgenstein represents in his early work as well as in the late work a clear and sweeping view of the nature of the relationship between language and the world. As Frege he believes they cannot be expressed verbally. Earlier WittgensteinVsFrege: by indirect use this view could be communicated.
According to the thesis of language as a universal medium (SUM) it cannot be expressed in particular, what would be the case if the semantic relationships between language and the world would be different from the given ones?
Wittgenstein I 45
Term/Frege/WittgensteinVsFrege/Hintikka: that a concept is essentially predicative, cannot be expressed by Frege linguistically, because he claims that the expression 'the term X' does not refer to a concept, but to an object.
I 46
Term/Frege/RussellVsFrege/Hintikka: that is enough to show that the Fregean theory cannot be true: The theory consists of sentences, which, according to their own theory cannot be sentences, and if they cannot be sentences, they also cannot be true ". (RussellVsFrege) WittgensteinVsFrege/late: return to Russell's stricter standards unlike Frege and early Wittgenstein himself.
Wittgenstein late: greatly emphasizes the purely descriptive. In Tractatus he had not hesitated to go beyond the vernacular.
I 65ff
Saturated/unsaturated/Frege/Tractatus/WittgensteinVsFrege: in Frege's distinction lurks a hidden contradiction. Both recognize the context principle. (Always full sentence critical for meaning).
I 66
Frege: unsaturated entities (functions) need supplementing. The context principle states, however, neither saturated nor unsaturated symbols have independent meaning outside of sentences. So both need to be supplemented, so the difference is idle. The usual equation of the objects of Tractatus with individuals (i.e. saturated entities) is not only missed, but diametrically wrong. It is less misleading, to regard them all as functions
I 222
Example number/number attribution/WittgensteinVsFrege/Hintikka: Figures do not require that the counted entities belong to a general area of all quantifiers. "Not even a certain universality is essential to the specified number. E.g. 'three equally big circles at equal distances' It will certainly not be: (Ex, y, z)xe circular and red, ye circular and red, etc ..." The objects Wittgenstein observes here, are apparently phenomenological objects. His arguments tend to show here that they are not only unable to be reproduced in the logical notation, but also that they are not real objects of knowledge in reality. ((s) that is not VsFrege here).
Wittgenstein: Of course, you could write like this: There are three circles, which have the property of being red.
I 223
But here the difference comes to light between inauthentic objects: color spots in the visual field, tones, etc., and the
actual objects: elements of knowledge.
(> Improper/actual, >sense data, >phenomenology).
---
II 73
Negation/WittgensteinVsFrege: his explanation only works if his symbols can be substituted by the words. The negation is more complicated than that negation character.
---
Wittgenstein VI 119
WittgensteinVsFrege/Schulte: he has not seen what is authorized on formalism that the symbols of mathematics are not the characters, but have no meaning. Frege: alternative: either mere ink strokes or characters of something. Then what they represent, is their meaning.
WittgensteinVsFrege: that this alternative is not correct, shows chess: here we are not dealing with the wooden figures, and yet the figures represent nothing, they have no Fregean meaning (reference).
There is simply a third one: the characters can be used as in the game.
Wittgenstein VI 172
Name/Wittgenstein/Schulte: meaning is not the referent. (VsFrege). ---
Sentence/character/Tractatus 3.14 .. the punctuation is a fact,.
3.141 The sentence is not a mixture of words.
3.143 ... that the punctuation is a fact is concealed by the ordinary form of expression of writing.
(WittgensteinVsFrege: so it was possible that Frege called the sentence a compound name).
3.1432 Not: "The complex character 'aRb' says that a stands in the relation R to b, but: that "a" is in a certain relation to "b", says aRb ((s) So conversely: reality leads to the use of characters). (quotes sic).

Mention/use/character/symbol/WittgensteinVsFrege/WittgensteinVsRussell/Tractatus: their Begriffsschrift(1) does not yet exclude such errors. 3.326 In order to recognize the symbol through the character, you have to pay attention to the meaningful use.
Wittgenstein IV 40
Sentence/sense/WittgensteinVsFrege/Tractatus: the verb of the sentence is not "is true" or "is wrong", but the verb has already to include that, what is true. 4.064 The sentence must have a meaning. The affirmation does not give the sentence its meaning.
IV 47
Formal concepts/Tractatus: (4.1272) E.g. "complex", "fact", "function", "number". WittgensteinVsFrege/WittgensteinVsRussell: they are presented in the Begriffsschrift by variables, not represented by functions or classes.
E.g. Expressions like "1 is a number" or "there is only one zero" or E.g. "2 + 2 = 4 at three o'clock" are nonsensical.
4.12721 the formal concept is already given with an object, which falls under it.
IV 47/48
So you cannot introduce objects of a formal concept and the formal concept itself, as basic concepts. WittgensteinVsRussell: you cannot introduce the concept of function and special functions as basic ideas, or e.g. the concept of number and definite numbers.
Successor/Begriffsschrift/Wittgenstein/Tractatus: 4.1273 E.g. b is successor of a: aRb, (Ex): aRx.xRb, (Ex,y): aRx.xRy.yRb ...
General/something general/general public/WittgensteinVsFrege/WittgensteinVsRussell: the general term of a form-series can only be expressed by a variable, because the term "term of this form-series" is a formal term. Both have overlooked: the way, how they want to express general sentences, is circular.
IV 49
Elementary proposition/atomism/Tractatus: 4.211 a character of an elementary proposition is that no elementary proposition can contradict it. The elementary proposition consists of names, it is a concatenation of names.
WittgensteinVsFrege: it itself is not a name.
IV 53
Truth conditions/truth/sentence/phrase/Tractatus: 4.431 of the sentence is an expression of its truth-conditions. (pro Frege). WittgensteinVsFrege: false explanation of the concept of truth: would "the truth" and "the false" really be objects and the arguments in ~p etc., then according to Frege the meaning of "~ p" is not at all determined.
Punctuation/Tractatus: 4.44 the character that is created by the assignment of each mark "true" and the truth possibilities.
Object/sentence/Tractatus: 4.441 it is clear that the complex of characters
IV 54
Ttrue" and "false" do not correspond to an object. There are no "logical objects". Judgment line/WittgensteinVsFrege/Tractatus: 4.442 the judgment line is logically quite meaningless. It indicates only that the authors in question consider the sentence to be true.
Wittgenstein pro redundancy theory/Tractatus: (4.442), a sentence cannot say of itself that it is true. (VsFrege: VsJudgment stroke).
IV 59
Meaning/WittgensteinVsFrege/Tractatus: (5.02) the confusion of argument and index is based on Frege's theory of meaning
IV 60
of the sentences and functions. For Frege the sentences of logic were names, whose arguments the indices of these names.
IV 62
Concluding/conclusion/result relation/WittgensteinVsRussell/WittgensteinVsFrege/Tractatus: 5.132 the "Final Acts" that should justify the conclusions for the two, are senseless and would be superfluous. 5.133 All concluding happens a priori.
5.134 one cannot conclude an elementary proposition from another.
((s) Concluding: from sentences, not situations.)
5.135 In no way can be concluded from the existence of any situation to the existence of,
IV 63
an entirely different situation. Causality: 5.136 a causal nexus which justifies such a conclusion, does not exist.
5.1361 The events of the future, cannot be concluded from the current.
IV 70
Primitive signs/WittgensteinVsFrege/WittgensteinVsRussell/Tractatus: 5.42 The possibility of crosswise definition of the logical "primitive signs" of Frege and Russell (e.g. >, v) already shows that these are no primitive signs, let alone that they signify any relations.
IV 101
Evidence/criterion/logic/WittgensteinVsFrege/Tractatus: 6.1271 strange that such an exact thinker like Frege appealed to the obviousness as a criterion of the logical sentence.
IV 102
Identity/meaning/sense/WittgensteinVsFrege/Tractatus: 6.232 the essential of the equation is not that the sides have a different sense but the same meaning, but the essential is that the equation is not necessary to show that the two expressions, that are connected by the equal sign, have the same meaning, since this can be seen from the two expressions themselves.

Wittgenstein II 343
Intension/classes/quantities/Frege/Russell/WittgensteinVsRussell/WittgensteinVsFrege: both believed they could deal with the classes intensionally because they thought they could turn a list into a property, a function. (WittgensteinVs). Why wanted both so much to define the number?

Holism Millikan Vs Holism I 10
Subject/predicate/coherence/language/world/Millikan: subject-predicate structure: I try to show how the law of non-contradiction (the essence of consistency) fits into nature. For that I need Fregean meaning as the main concept. As one can err when it comes to knowledge, so one can err when it comes to meaning.
I 11
Holism/MillikanVsHolismus: we are trying to avoid it. Then we will understand why we still can know something of the world, despite everything. Realism/Millikan: I stay close to the Aristotelian realism.
properties/kind/Millikan: exists only in the actual world.
MillikanVsNominalismus.
I 13
MillikanVsHolismus: it is about understanding without holism and without the myth of the given how to test our apparent skills to recognize things and our apparent meanings. Observational concepts/Millikan: we have a lot more of then than is commonly supposed.
For them, there are good - albeit fallible - tests that are independent of our theories.
Convictions: insofar as our meanings and our ability to recognize things are correct and valid,
I 14
most of our Convictions and judgments are true. ((s) >Beliefs/Davidson). Appropriateness/Millikan: by bringing our judgments to interact iwth those of others in a community, we have additional evidence that they are reasonable. That's also how new concepts are developed which may be tested independently of theories, or not.

I 67
conviction/Millikan: (see chapter 18, 19): Thesis: if one believes something, then normally on grounds of observational judgments. Problem: Background information that could prevent one from the judgment is not necessarily information, the denial of which would normally be used to support the conviction!
I 68
I will use this principle MillikanVsQuine. Theory/observation/Quine: thesis: both are insolubly twisted with each other.
MillikanVsHolismus.
Intentions according to Grice/Millikan: should not be regarded as a mechanism. However:
Engine: may also be regarded as a hierarchy, where higher levels can stop the lower ones. And I as a user must know little about the functioning of the lower levels.

I 298
Test/Millikan: Ex the heart can only be tested together with the kidneys. Language/meaning/reference/world/reality/projection/Millikan: We're just trying to understand how there can be a test that can historically be applied to human concepts in this world of ours, and the results of which are correlated with the world for reasons we can specify.
Problem: we are here more handicapped than realism.
I 299
It is about the possibility of meaningfulness and intentionality at all ("How is it possible?"). Holism/MillikanVsHolismus: epistemic holism is wrong.
Instead, a test for non-contradiction, if it is applied only to a small group of concepts, would be a relatively effective test for the adequacy of concepts.
concepts/adequacy/Millikan: if they are adequate, concepts exercise their own function in accordance with a normal explanation. Their own function is to correspond to a variant of the world. An adequate concept produces correct acts of identification of the references of its tokens.

I 318
Holism/theory/observation/concept/dependency/MillikanVsHolismus/Millikan: the view that we observe most of the things we observe just by observing indirect effects is wrong. Anyway, we observe effects of things, namely, on our senses.
I 319
Difference: it is about the difference between information acquisition through knowledge of effects on other observed things and the acquisition of information without such an intermediary knowledge of other things. Problem: here arises a mistake very easily: this knowledge does not have to be used.

I 321
Two Dogmas/Quine/Millikan. Thesis: our findings about the outside world are not individually brought before the tribunal of experience, but only as a body. Therefore: no single conviction is immune to correction.
Test/Verification/MillikanVsHolismus/MillikanVsQuine/Millikan: most of our convictions are never brought before the tribunal of experience.
I 322
Therefore, it is unlikely that such a conviction is ever supported or refuted by other convictions. Affirmation: only affirmation: by my ability to recognize objects that appear in my preferences.
From convictions being related does not follow that the concepts must be related as well.
Identity/identification/Millikan: epistemology of identity is a matter of priority before the epistemology of judgments.

McDowell, J. Verschiedene Vs McDowell, J. I 64
VsMcDowell: some accuse me of anthropocentrism: a groundless confidence that the world is completely within the reach of our thinking.
I 65
McDowell: there is no guarantee for this and the ability of spontaneity brings with it the obligation to constantly reflect on the evidence that guides the active activity at all times.
I 209
VsMcDowell: danger of idealism: idealistic prevailing mood of elimination of the outer border. This deprives us of a possibility that we should not renounce: the possibility of direct contact between the mental and the objects!
I 210
If one accepts the world as everything that is the case, then one subordinates the world to the realm of the Fregean sense ("realm of the conceivable"). Then there are not episodes and acts of thought, but identity. Facts in this sense are thoughts, the thinkable that is the case. McDowellVs: but objects do not belong to the realm of the thinkable (Fregean Sense) but to the realm of the reference to objects. (Fregean meaning)
VsMcDowell: the objection is now that Wittgenstein's "commonplace" (see above) aligns the mind with the realm of meaning, but not with the realm of object reference (meaning).
VsMcDowell: then we need some kind of theory of description.
Theory of Description/Russell/McDowell: indirect reference to the world.
