The Metaphysics of Meaning

Calculus Bernays Thiel I 20
Formalism ("linguistic turnaround"): a) calculus-theoretical variant/Bernays: what is the mathematician's work? b) Structure-theoretical variant/Hilbert: different systems can be interpreted as valid in the same object area.
>Formalism, cf. >FregeVsHilbert, >Formalism/Frege, cf. >Blackening of the paper.

Coherence Theory Rorty II (f) 126
Def idealism: truth does not match with the inner nature of an object, but coherence. Ayer: by the "linguistic turn" he was given the possibility to present, as a logical positivist, a version of coherence theory of truth that was freed from metaphysics.
>Coherence.
II (f) 130
McDowell: Coherence Theory / Rorty per Davidson: beliefs: can a) be seen from the outside view of the field researcher, causal interactions with the environment - b) from the inside, from the perspective of the natives, as rules of action. >Beliefs/Davidson.
The internal perspective is normative, in the >space of reasons.
RortyVsPutnam: he somehow tries to think that together.
>Coherence theory/Ayer, >A. J. Ayer, >Positivism, >Metaphysics, >Linguistic turn.

Evolution Rorty II (e) 76
Linguistic turn/Rorty: the turn to linguistic questions enabled Kant's heirs to cope with Darwin. For instance Dewey:
VI 183
Evolution/Dewey/Rorty: Dewey wants to link Darwinian evolution with cultural evolution. >Dewey.
VI 275
Evolution/Rorty: has nothing at all to do with value hierarchies, no matter what Hegel might say. >Values, >Culture, >Cultural values.

Gen/Mem/Evolution/ Purpose/Rorty: there is no gene or meme closer to evolution than others: Evolution has neither an end purpose nor an inner being. >Genes, >Memes, >Evolution/Gould.
VI 427
Experience/Evolution/Dewey/Rorty: if there is to be no break in historical and natural continuity, then cognitive experience must start within a non-cognitive experience. (Evolution, Continuity Animal Human) Evolution/Consciousness/Rorty: The problem with this process of creating continuity between us and the animals is that the philosophical embarrassment of discontinuity is apparently shifted back, approximately into the gap between viruses and amoebae.
But why stop there? >Panpsychism.

Formalism Thiel I 20
Formalism/Thiel: Carries out, so to speak, the "linguistic turn" in mathematics. It is now asked what the object of the mathematician's work is. Rules for actions. Symbols are replaced by others. The formalist does not ask for the "meaning". Mathematics: Theory of formalisms or formal systems. >Formalism. In addition to this "calculus-theoretical variant" of formalism, there is the "structure-theoretical variant". (>Hilbert). Different formal systems can be interpreted as valid from exactly the same mathematical object domains. We can call this their "description" by the formal systems.
>Mathematical entities.
I 279
Formalism/Geometry/Hilbert/Thiel: In 1899 Hilbert had used terms such as point, straight line, plane, "between", etc. in his foundations of geometry, but had understood their meaning in a previously unfamiliar way. It should not only enable the derivation of the usual sentences, but in its entirety should also determine the meaning of the terms used in them.
I 280
Later this was called "definition by postulates", "implicit definition". >Definitions, >Definability,
The terms point, straight line, etc. should at most be a convenient aid for mathematical understanding.
FregeVsHilbert: clarifies in his correspondence that his axioms are not statements but forms of statements.
>Statement form.
He contested the fact that their combination gave meaning to the terms appearing in them. Rather a (in Frege's terminology) "second level term" is defined, today one would also say a "structure".
HilbertVsFrege: N.B.: Hilbert's approach is precisely that the meaning of "point", "straight line" etc. is left open.
Frege and Hilbert could have agreed on it, but did not.
Axioms/Frege/Thiel: an axiom should be a simple statement at the beginning of a system.
Axioms/Hilbert: forms of statement that together define a discipline. This has developed into the "sloppy" way of speaking, e.g. "straight line" in sphere geometry is a great circle.
Thiel I 342
Intuitionism and formalism are often presented as alternatives to logicism. The three differ so strongly that a comparison is even difficult.
I 343
Formalism/Thiel: 1. "older" formalism: second half 19th century creators Hankel, Heine, Thomae, Stolz. "formal arithmetic," "formal algebra". "The subject of arithmetic are the signs on the paper itself, so that the existence of these numbers is not in question" (naively). Def "principle of permanence": it had become customary to introduce new signs for additional numbers and then to postulate that the rules valid for the numbers of the initial range should also be valid for the extended range.
Vs: this should be considered illegitimate as long as the consistency is not shown. Otherwise a new figure could be introduced, and
one could simply postulate e.g. § + 1 = 2 and § + 2 = 1. This contradiction would show that the "new numbers" do not really exist. This explains Heine's formulation that the "existence is not at all in question".
I 343/'344
Thomae treated the problem as "rules of the game" in a more differentiated way. FregeVsThomae: he did not even specify the basic rules of his game, namely the correspondences to the rules, figures, and positions.
This criticism of Frege was already a forerunner of Hilbert's theory of proof, in which mere series of signs are also considered with disregard for their possible content on their creation and transformation according to given rules.
I 345
HilbertVsVs: Critics of Hilbert often overlook the fact that, at least for Hilbert himself, the "finite core" should remain interpreted in terms of content and only the "ideal" parts that cannot be interpreted in a finite way have no content that can be directly displayed. This note is methodical, not philosophical. For Hilbert's program, "formalism" is also the most frequently used term. Beyond that, the concept of formalism has a third sense: namely, the concept of mathematics and logic as a system of schemes of action for dealing with figures free of any content.
HilbertVsFrege and Dedekind: the objects of number theory are the signs themselves. Motto: "In the beginning was the sign."
I 346
The term formalism did not originate from Hilbert or his school. Brouwer had stylized the contrasts between his intuitionism and the formalism of the Hilbert School into a fundamental decision. Brouwer: his revision of the classical set and function concept brings another "Species of Mathematics".
Instead of the function as assignment of function values to arguments of the function, sequences of election actions of a fictitious "ideal mathematician" who chooses a natural number at every point of the infinitely conceived process take place, whereby this number may be limited by the most different determinations for the election action, although in the individual case the election action is not predictable.

Intentionality Chisholm I 15
Chisholm thesis: primacy of intentionality before language. Cf. >Thought and language.

II 115
Intentionality/Brandl: that does not explain the attributive use ("Whoever it is") - instead use is explained by our knowledge of the language, therefore the primacy of intentionality is questionable.
Brandl, Johannes. Gegen den Primat des Intentionalen. In: M.David/L. Stubenberg (Hg) Philosophische Aufsätze zu Ehren von R.M. Chisholm Graz 1986


II 218
Primacy of the intentional/Chisholm: to understand the reference of language by the reference of thinking. >Reference. Wittgenstein: Vs, but not unique.
II 219
Linguistic turn: only shifts the problem. Intentionality/Wittgenstein: Wittgenstein has such aspects in his thinking, too.

Language Kripke Rorty II 130f
Positivists/Rorty: replace "experience", "ideas", "consciousness" by the concept "language" - then primary qualities are no longer more closely related to reality than secondary ones (VsLocke) but it was this precise thesis that was resurrected by Kripke’s revolution against Wittgenstein (KripkeVsLinguistic Turn). >Positivism, >Linguistic turn, >Consciousness, >Ideas, >Experience.
---
III 335
Language/Davidson: "Davidson’s criterion": a language must not have an infinite number of basic concepts. Kripke: otherwise it cannot be the "first language". Cf. >Language acquisition.
III 338
KripkeVsDavidson: we just have to demand that only a finite number of axioms includes "new" vocabulary (weaker). >Axioms/Kripke.
III 397
Language/infinite/Kripke: if the domain D is countable, the infinite sequences which can be formed from its objects are non-countable and therefore cannot be mapped on to D one-to-one. They can therefore ((s) in the meta language) not even be coded and therefore not be reduced. >Meta language.
Even then there may be nothing in the vocabulary of the meta language that is sufficient.
>Are there infinitely many possible sentences?.

Language Nagel I 57
NagelVsprimacy of language: leads to the devaluation of reason, decay product of analytic philosophy. >Linguistic turn, >Analytic philosophy.
Rejection of Frege. Thinking is often not linguistical. The most common forms of thinking do not depend on any single language.
>Thinking without language.
I 57
If language reveals principles of thought, this is not because logic is grammar, but because grammar follows a logic. >Logic, >Grammar, >Thinking, >Thoughts.
I 61
That "and" has become the word for the conjunction by contingent circumstances has no concequences for the status of the true statement that p is implied by p and q. What a set of sentences means depends on conventions. What follows from a set of premises does not depend on them (formal).
Rorty VI 144 ff
NagelVsDennett/Rorty: his "hetero-phenomenology" is not sufficient. >Heterophenomenology.
Nagel thesis: the sources of philosophy are preverbal, their problems are not dependent on culture.

NagelVsWittgenstein: (according to Rorty): the limits of language are not the limits of thinking! "The content of some thoughts goes beyond any form that they may take in human consciousness." (Per distinction scheme/content). >Scheme/content.

Surface Structure Chomsky I 269F
Surface Structure/Chomsky: finding a hierarchy of phrases that belong to certain categories: noun phrase, verb phrase, adjective phrase, etc. E.g. John is certain Bill wants to leave - John is certain to leave: similar surface structure, different deep structure. >Deep structure.
I 273
Surface Structure/Chomsky: Assumption: it contributes nothing to the meaning - what contribution a term makes to the sentence, is adjusted by the deep structure >compositionality.
ChomskyVsAnalytic Philosophy: if different intensions after substitution should change the meaning, there would have to be a corresponding difference in the deep structure, which is unlikely.
>Analytic Philosophy, >Linguistic turn.

Theories Pocock Gaus I 354
Theories/discourse/theory change/Pocock/Whelan: J. G. A. Pocock, a practitioner of [the ‚linguistic turn‘], explains that it involves a shift from the 'history of political thought' to the 'history of discourse', making reference or alluding to methodologists such as Saussure, Gadamer, and Kuhn, as well as Skinner, who have influenced his work (1985(1): ch. l; cf. Pocock, 1987)(2). >F. Saussure, >H.G. Gadamer, >Th. Kuhn, >Q. Skinner, >Linguistic turn.
The objective, he argues, is 'the recovery of an author's language no less than of his intentions, toward treating him as inhabiting a universe of langues that give meaning to the paroles he performs in them'.
>Parole.
Thus a given thinker may draw upon several distinct languages, shifting from one to the other or combining them in creative ways.
>Theory change, >Meaning Change.
The research of Pocock and various associates on the Anglophone eighteenth century, for example, has touched upon the distinctive discourses of republicanism, 'ancient constitutionalism', 'politeness', natural and common law jurisprudence, Anglicanism, and political economy, among others. This approach is exemplified by - and indicated in the very titles of- works such as Nicholas Phillipson and Quentin Skinner (1993)(3) and Anthony Pagden (1987)(4).

Entry
Reference
Empiricism Quine Vs Empiricism IV 397
British Empiricism: based on ideas in the mind. These are of course not intersubjectively observable. That means the foundation is private, not public. QuineVsBritish Empiricism: VsMentalistic approach: in the Quine's eyes not consistent. One should stick to what openly observed is true to anyone. Language is nothing private, but something social.
IV 398
The language: a social skill that is acquired through the observation of the social use. The externalization of empiricism leads to behavioral access to meaning. (Behaviorism).
IV 402
QuineVsBritish Empiricism: Is based on the assumption of ideas (derived from Locke). Uncritical mentalism. Too simple picture of the experiential reference of languages ​​and theories.

VI 11
"Linguistic Turn"/Quine: that was good, but not good enough: the distinction between observation sentences and theoretical propositions was only made derivatively, no theoretical terms should appear. Therefore Reichenbach used "bridge sentences" to connect the two sentence types. (VsBritish Empiricism).
Observation/Quine: we do not start with objects (we eliminate them), but with sentences! This allows us to define the observation sentence, without bothering about whether it is theory-free or not!
We also no longer need to decide which objects the words should designate! (Without reification). Instead of objects stimulus meaning: the willingness to agree to a sentence.
VI 11/12
Singular Term/Singular Terms/Ontology/Existence/Quine: if we had assumed terms instead of sentences, we would have skipped the whole issue of objectification and always conceded object-relation from the hollow gut.
Meaning Theory/M.Th./Quine: must be empirical.
QuineVsLogical Empiricism: neither the analytical truths nor the observation base resists the skeptical attack.

V 189
Theory/Ontology/Quine: how should a scientific theory look like at best? We want as many as possible and good predictions. Guiding principles: simplicity and conservatism.
V 190
Both are in a dialectical relation! (To use an expression by my students). An strong oversimplification can justify a relatively large deviation. Between the two, we need a compromise.
Conservatism/Quine: among other things, caused by our lack of imagination. But also prudence when it comes to hypotheses.
Simplicity/Conservativeness: both are already at work in language learning.
Language Learning/Quine: occurs in leaps and bounds. Is always based on similarities and analogies.
V 191
Short steps are conservative. They are guided by relative empiricism. Def Relative Empiricism/Quine: do not stray further from sense data than necessary. Quine pro: That keeps theory changes low.
QuineVsRadical Empiricism: we gave it up when we gave up hope to reduce talk of objects to talk of sense data.
Important argument: that requires us to stick with the substitutional quantification over abstract objects. This speaks to the nominalistic mind. It manifests itself in relative empiricism, for both are the same.
Nominalism: must not overestimate the ontological harmlessness of the variables of sQ. In general, we can say the values ​​of variables determine the whole ontology if we only have object variables, truth functions and predicates.

Stalnaker I 3
QuineVsEmpiricism/Two Dogmas/Stalnaker: when it comes to accepting or not accepting a whole language, along with a theory that is formulated in this language, then it is not certain that there is a base for a distinction which are the language rules (rules), and what are the judgments about the world. There is no theory-neutral way to separate factual questions from semantic ones.

Formalism Thiel I 20
Formalism: the "linguistic turn" in mathematics. It is asked what is the subject of the work of the mathematician. Rules for actions. Symbols are replaced by others. Here, the formalist does not ask for the "meaning". Mathematics: Science of formalisms or formal systems (Bernays). In addition to this "theoretical calculus variant" of the formalism, there is the "theoretical structure"-variant. (Hilbert) Various formal system can be interpreted as valid by exactly the same mathematical domains. We can call this the "Description" by the formal systems.

Positivism Rorty, R. II 130f
Positivists / Rorty: replace "experience", "ideas", "consciousness" by the term "language" - then primary qualities become more closely related to reality than secondary (VsLocke) - but that this theory was resurrected by KripkeVsWittgenstein - (KripkeVslinguistic turn).
