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. |

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. |

Propositional Attitudes | Mates | I 101f Propositional attitudes / opaque context / meaning / significance / Frege / Mates: expression changes meaning depending on the context - after "believe that" an expression has as the meaning, which usually makes up his sense and any sense as something else (indirect meaning). >Fregean sense, >Fregean meaning, >Oblique meaning, >Oblique sense, >Citations, >Sense, >Meaning, >G. Frege, >Propositions, >That-clauses. Meaning: meaning is then the proposition (instead of a truth value) >Truth values. Sense: sense in a opaque context: an indirect sense corresponds to our "direct token", a name or identification. >Opacity, >Occurrence, >Names of sentences, >Descriptions. |

Church, A. | Sellars Vs Church, A. | Putnam I 66 Description/PutnamVsSellars: nor does the analysis of the description help Sellars: (1) "wheel" describes a wheel in English. Putnam: that means that "wheel" plays in English the role that "Rad" has in German. ChurchVsTarski: (1) is not statement on the German word "Rad". SellarsVsChurch: introduces a special means: the "point mention" (as Frege's "oblique sense"): A word in point mention denotes its own linguistic role: "Rad" and "wheel" are then both names for a certain role, namely the same! Important: wheel is not synonymous to a description of this role: it is rather a name of that role! That concludes: (2) "wheel" has in English the role "Rad". Then the extension of described is a class of ordered pairs (word/role), not (word/thing). (> Description). Sellars: no relation word world but word role. I 66/67 Description/Sellars: this is not a big restriction for him as nominalist as "roles" are not abstract entities for him. PutnamVsSellars: but this does not cast a particular light on the problem of reference. |
