de dicto Lewis IV 144
Knowledge de dicto/Lewis: E.g. encyclopedia - aimed at the world and provides knowledge about the world, not on the reader (de se) E.g. Lingens with memory loss finds himself in the library - (> tour guide example, Lost wanderers) - provides localization in logical space but not in space-time - but you can close the gap - E.g. map: will only be useful when the red dot "you are here" is removed.

Descriptions Tugendhat I 348
Descriptions/Frege (also Husserl): descriptions more fundamental than names - for finding the reference of names. MillVsFrege: Names more fundamental.
>Names/Mill.
VsMill: mysterious: "enclosed to the object itself".
Solution/Mill: not to the object but to the idea of object.
>Imagination.
I 378
Frege: names are abbreviations for descriptions. >Abbreviated descriptions.
I 396
Description/properties/Identification/Tugendhat: doubtful whether descriptions can really pick out an object. "Original" property: E.g. "the highest mountain", "the second highest mountain," and so on.
Problem: there can also be two mountains of the same height, at one point there can be multiple or none so-and-so.
Tugendhat: there must be added something else, ostension, name or location.
E.g. someone who is lead in front of the highest mountain, does not need to know that it is the highest. - ((s) "This mountain" is not a property.)
>Knowledge, >Identification, >haecceitism, cf. >Two lost wanderers.

Extra-sense/I/PerryVsCastaneda: can be recognized by others in the same way, does not explain the difference. >Extra-sense/Castaneda.
Frank I 399f
I/he/reference/relation/sense/meaning: difference: Quasi-indicator attributes reference, but does not establish it. >I/Castaneda, >quasi-indicator.

Frank I 402ff
I/Castaneda/Perry: "I" is not replaceable by specific labeling, when behavior is explained - "I" is a "key index word". Problem: same sentence, but different speaker: false belief "I'm making a mess ...".
>Sugar trail example.
Incorrect solution: "And I am the one": again a new index word. - "Lack of conceptual component" does not help: I can believe that it is me, with no specific concept of me.
False: description: "the one who makes the mess"; this does not help, because there is no connection to me.
Frank I 403
Belief/I/Perry: Solution: we need a distinction: belief-state/belief-object. E.g. the event starts at 12:00 - that means, "now!" or "already finished" or "there is still time".
Subject: the event beginning at 12:00
State: "now".
Specific decsription without an index is not enough.
>Indexicality, >Index words.
Frank I 414
I/individuation/Perry: The following conditions are not enough: Propositions de re, de dicto, additional conceptual feature localization in space and time, relativization on people and places, two different descriptions without "I". >Propositions, >de re, >de dicto, >Spatial localization, >Description.
Perry like Castaneda: 'I' is not replaceable.
>I, Ego, Self/Castaneda, >H.-N. Castaneda.
Time/Person-Proposition: does not make me different from the others: "J.P. yesterday at the super market" is just as true for others. - judgement context = opinion context: "The event begins now" is true at 12:00 - does not help. True/false/truth value: does not help: that mountain A is higher than B, may be true, but does not lead to the right path. There is nothing what all have in common.
>Wanderers-example.
Solution: the lost wanderers are in the same opinion state (individuated by index words), but not of the same opinion.

Index Words Perry Frank I 22
PerryVsFrege: "today" is not a completing or "saturating" sense, absolutely no sense, but a reference object - meaning remains, reference varies. >Indexicality, >Meaning, >Reference, >Sense, >Contextuality.
Frank I 393f
Index words/Perry: without pointing component. Demonstratives: with pointing component.
>Demonstratives.
Meaning of index-words: their role - similar to the method for the determination of the object.
>Roles, >Verification, >Identification, >Individuation.
I 394f
Today/Meaning: constant, truth value with index word "today it's nice" is not constant, so the meaning is changing - if understanding is knowing the truth value. >Truth value, >Understanding, cf. >Truth conditions, >Understanding/Dummett.
Perry: the role (determination process) changes, the meaning is constant. - Then the meaning cannot be a part of the thought.
>Meaning, >Thoughts.
What the speaker believes is irrelevant to the meaning of the index word.
>Beliefs, >Self-identification, >Self-knowledge.

Index words/Perry: true-false exam does not help. - E.g. Two lost wanderers: that the Mt. Tallac is higher than Jack's Peak, is affirmed by all. ((s) This presupposes that the two do not stand side by side in sight.)
Perry:There is no mountain, everyone believes it is Mt. Tallac, no customer from which all believe that he has made the mess (sugar trail). No Professor, who does not feel guilty (because he does not know what time it is). What people have in common here is not what they believe.
>Wanderers example, >Sugar trail example.
I 394 ff
Sense/Perry: is oft of understood as a term. - Then question: is the meaning of index words to be equated with an individual-concept or a general term? >Singular terms, >General terms.

Map Example Lewis IV 144
Knowledge de dicto/Map-Example/Lewis: e.g. encyclopedia - applies to the world and provides knowledge about the world, not about the reader (de se). - E.g. Lingens with memory loss found himself in a library and reads his own story. (-> E.g. Lost wanderers). - Knowledge de dicto provides localization in the logical space but not in space-time - but you can close the gap. - E.g. Map: will only be used if the red dot "you are here" is removed.

Explanation/(s):E.g., Two lost hikers meet. By chance they have the same hiking book. Then they will not find out their localization with the help of this book alone.
Reason: In the printed book, the walkers are not identified, for example, as the one who came from the west and the one who came from the east.
Solution: A modern navigation system registers the route and uses it to identify the user holding the device.
>Propositional knowledge, >Non-propositional knowledge, >Self-identification, >Self-ascription.

Map Example Peacocke I 76
Map/Peacocke: in order to use a map, you have to be able to trace the trail of your own movements. ((s)> e.g. Two lost wanderers/J. Perry).
((s) e.g. GPS: intensional (tells you "who you are").
Map: (extensional) will not help you. It does not tell you who you are.)
>Propositional knowledge, >Intensions, >Intensionality, >Extensions,
>Extensionality, >Spatial localization.


((s) Explanation/(s): E.g., Two lost hikers meet. By chance, they have the same hiking book. Then, with the help of this book alone, they will not find out their localization.
Reason: in the printed book the hikers are not identified, e.g. as the one who came from the west and the one who came from the east.
Solution: modern navigation system: registers the path and identifies by it the user who holds the device in his hand.
Distinction: propositional/non-propositional knowledge).

Two Omniscient Gods Perry Frank I 404f
Lewis: Two omniscient Gods/Gods-Example/example of the Gods/wanderer-example: E.g. Perry: two lost wanderers need more than just the same travel guide to even detect differences with the situation and each other. - They would call all the same sentences as true.
See also sugar trail at the grocery store.
>Supermarket-example . (Frank I 402ff).
>Two omniscient Gods.

Wanderers (Expl) Perry, J. Fra I 421
Belief state / opinion state / 2 wanderers / Perry: there is no identity, not even an isomorphic correspondence, but only a systematic relation between the belief states in which you are, and what one believes, based on the way!
