Connectives Strawson I 214
Connective/Relation/Strawson: a) stating connective: (s) "is a.."
b) stated connective: "is in relation to...", "is an example of...".
Double-digit expressions are not designations of relations themselves!
Predicable relations between things not relations themselves.
>Terminology/Strawson.
I 215
a) Species universals: provides classification principle, does not presuppose one - E.g. generic name. b) characterizing universals (ch. u.): e.g. verbs, adjectives: provide class · principle only for previously sorted particulars.
>Universals/Strawson.
But also particulars themselves provide the principle of summary: e.g. Socrates as well as wisdom. ->attributive tie: (non-relational tie between particulars of various types).
I 216
Example of the characterizing tie between Socrates and the universal dying corresponds to the attributive tie between Socrates and his death.
I 216
1) Species or Sample tie/Strawson: a) Fido is a dog, an animal, a terrier - b) Fido, Coco and Rover are dogs. 2) characterizing tie: e.g. Socrates is wise, is lively, argues - b) Socrates, Plato, Aristotle are all wise, all of them die.
3) attributive tie: grouping of particulars because of the characterizing tie. E.g. smiling, praying.
Each is a symmetrical form: x is a characterizing tie to y.
Asymmetrical: x is characterized by y. - Then y is a dependent element.
I 219
Categorical criterion of the subject-predicate distinction: x is asserted to be bound non-relationallly to y i.e. universals of particulars can be predicted, but not by particulars of universals. - But even universals can be predicated by universals.
I 221
New: distinction between object types instead of word types.
I 227f
Connective/tie/Strawson: Special case: between particulars: e.g. the catch which eliminated Compton was made by Carr. - Solution: regard is carried out, etc. as quasi-universal. - Only quasi-universal: because action and execution of the action are not different.
I 229
Nevertheless: a simplification like "Compton was eliminated by Carr" has a different weighting. Point: we have transferred the role of the subject of a predication to theobjects. New criterion as a bridge between the two others.
V 121f
Concepts/Kant/Strawson: Objects may only change within the limits of recognition. The corresponding restrictions must somehow be reflected in the concepts. - However, it is not about a specific connective but about the existence of any such connectives.
V 123
Concepts for objects are always summaries of causal law.

Sentences Strawson I 196
StrawsonVsFrege: that the parts of the sentence stick together only by unsaturated is merely metaphorical - RamseyVsFrege: no reason to consider any part as unsaturated. >Reference/Ramsey, >Particularization/Ramsey, >"unsaturated"/Frege.
I 214
Connection/relation/Strawson: a) stating tie: (s) "is a .."
b) stating tie: "is in relation to ..", "is an example for.."
Two-digit terms themselves are not again designations of relations.
>Relations.
Stating relations between things are not themselves relation.
I 216
1. Kind or sample tie/Strawson: a) Fido is a dog, an animal, a terrier
b) Fido, Coco and Rover are dogs.
2.
a) characterizing tie: E.g. Socrates is wise, is agile, argues
b) Socrates , Plato, Aristotle, are all wise, all die
3. attributive tie: Summary of particulars due to the characterizing tie. E.g. smiling, praying - each of them symmetrical form: "x stands in characterizing tie to y.
Asymmetrical: "x is characterized by y" - then y is a dependent element.
I 219
Categorical criterion of the subject-predicate distinction: "x is asserted bonded as non-relational to y" i.e. that universals can be predicted by particulars, but not particulars of universals. - But also universals can be predicated by universals. >Universals/Strawson.
I 221
New: distinction between fact types instead of word types. ---
IV 53
Sentence/Strawson: the general form of the sentence is: "It behaves so and so".

Terminology Strawson I 134
M-predicates/Strawson: predicates that can be also correctly applied to purely mathematical bodies: E.g. "weighs 5 kg" "is in the living room". P-predicates: applicable to persons: E.g. "smile", "suffer pain", "go for a walk", "believe in God".

VII 118/19
Description/Meaning/Strawson: e.g. "He": minimal descriptive meaning.
E.g. "Blue Grotto": maximum descriptive meaning.
E.g. "The Blue Grotto": middle position, "impure" proper name.

I 185
A-expressions: are substantive B-expressions: are predicative.

I 239f
Universal/particular/introduction: Class (1): (universal): expressions of which one (without empirical facts) cannot know what they introduce
class (2) (paricular) also without empirical fact possible to know what they introduce - both are incomplete
(1) presuppose implicit expressions, have factual weight
(2) have no factual weight.
I 241
Subject/predicate/thing/particular/universal: 3. Criterion: expressions introducing particulars can never be predicate expressions - Definition subject-expression: presents a fact by itself (complete)
Predicate A: incomplete "is married to John" is not a fact by itself.

I 32ff
Logically individuating description: "the first", "the only" etc. Pure individuating description: the only dog who was born at sea"
Quasi-pure: the tallest man who has lived so far.
Except for probability considerations no reasons that pure individuating descriptions apply to something.

I 215
a) Type-universals: provides classification principle, does require none - E.g. generic names b) characterizing universals: E.g. verbs, adjectives: deliver classification-principle - only for previously classified particulars.
But also particulars themselves provide "principle of summary": E.g. Socrates as well as wisdom -> "attributive tie": (non-relational relation between particulars of different types).

Newen ) 93
Def implication: A imp B iff. it can not be that A is true but B is false.
Def presupposition: A presupposes B iff. B must be true in order for A to have any specific truth value.

V 13
Def "Sense Principle" / Strawson: there is no legitimate use of ideas or concepts that would not refer to the empirical conditions of its application.

Universals Strawson I 88
Universals/Strawson: E.g. repeated tone - same chord in various concert halls.
I 176
Universals/Strawson: Tradition: only universals and particular-universals (E.g. be-married to John) can be predicted. Particulars can never be predicted.
>Particulars/Strawson.
Cf. >Concept/Frege, >Object/Frege.
I 215
a) Type-universals: provides classification principle, does require none - E.g. generic names b) characterizing universals: E.g. verbs, adjectives: deliver classification-principle - only for previously classified particulars.
But also particulars themselves provide "principle of summary": E.g. Socrates as well as wisdom -> "attributive tie": (non-relational relation between particulars of different types).
I 216
Example of characterizing tie between Socrates and the universal death corresponds to the attributive tie between Socrates and his death - see copula/Strawson.
I 251
Universals/Quine/Strawson: should only appear as predicates. Pro "nominalism".
>Nominalism.
StrawsonVsQuine: the language terms of this analysis, already presuppose the existence of subject-expressions.
I 250
Essential feature-universals/essential feature-localizing findings/Strawson: E.g. it rains now - snow falls - here is water. No subject-predicate sentences: here no characterizing-universals, but types of material.
Also no type-universals. - This is the least to make any empirical statements.
Introduction with demonstrative does not require particulars.
>Introduction/Strawson.
E.g. Cat as an essential feature:
a) for the same cat,
b) for another cat.
I 277
Essential-feature-universal/essential feature-localizing/Strawson: the corresponding essential feature-findings actually introduce things - but are not subject terms or subject phrases - "here"/"now" set no limits - (even if they are quantifiable, "there is no point in time ").
I 279
Things are not introduced by space and time adverbs.
