Deontology Wright Berka I 173
Deontic modal logic/permission principle/Wright, G. H.: for any act applies: either it or its negation is allowed - deontic modalities are extensional. >Extensionality.
Berka I 173
Deontology/tautology/deontic modal logic/Wright: problem in tautology: O (A v ~ A) or P (A & ~ A): if there really is an act A, which is such that P (A & A) expresses a true statement, then any action would be allowed - because of the extensionality principle that an act may presupposes the presence of another, e.g. ~ A & B. Wright: >moral nihilism.
Solution: Principle: (tautology): doing what is permitted can never commit ourselves to do what is forbidden.
Deontic modalities: have no analog connections with the truth and falsehood (facts) as the alethic, epistemic and existential modalities: i.e. from the act or omission follows nothing about the deontic status.(1) -> naturalistic fallacy.

Extensionality Extensionality, philosophy: (also extensionality principle, extensionality thesis) an attempt to make the language distinct by taking complete sets of denoted objects as the meaning of the referring words. See also extensions, intensions, extensional language, ambiguity, propositional attitudes.

Extensionality Russell I XXXII (Note)
Def Extensionality principle: no two different properties can belong to exactly the same thing ((s) but only intensional). E.g., "tall man"/"fat man" may be the same, they are just different intensions (therefore no properties)).
>Extension, >Properties, >Ascription, >Predication.
I XVI
Def Intensionality principle: to different definitions belong different terms. >Definition, >Intension.
Def vicious circle principle/Russell: no totality can contain members that can be defined only in terms of this totality, or members which comprise this totality or presuppose it.
>Definability, >Wholes, >Vicious circle.

Extensions Quine Graeser I 60
Extension/Quine/Graeser: when bachelor/unmarried man are coextensive, then why are they not just randomly empirically (contingent) - not sure if it is a matter of meaning.
Lauener XI 175
Reference/Extension/singular term/general term/Follesdal/Lauener: singular terms: have a reference - general terms and sentences have an extension. >Singular Terms/Quine, >General Terms/Quine.
XII (c) 51
Predicate/co-extensive/extension-equal/coextensiveness/synonymy/Quine: coextensive predicates: e.g. equilateral/equivalent triangle
E.g. featherless biped/rational creature: It was never clear when to say that the predicates had the same meaning.
Extension: (here = reference) is safe.
Meaning: the intension is uncertain.
Translation indeterminacy: here: across to Extension/Intension.
>Indeterminacy/Quine, >Intensions/Quine.
VII (b) 21
Extension/meaning/Quine: e.g. "living creature with heart" - "living creature with kidneys": (general term): same extension, different meaning.
VII (e) 89
Extensionality Principle/Quine:

P1 ((x ‹ y ) › ((y ‹ x) › (x = y)))

that is, a class is determined by its elements.
((s) If x and y are subsets of each other, then they are equal).
VII (f) 115
General Term/predicate/Quine: Predicates are not names of classes. This does not mean that there are not often classes that are associated with predicates without being named by them. For example, if we are talking about the extension of a general term or predicate:
The class of all things of which the predicate is true.
Thus, the theory of validity appeals to classes but not to the individual statements represented by schemes of quantifier logic (quantificational theory). Example:

(Ex)(x is a dog . x is white)

it does not involve an appeal to an abstract extension of a predicate.
>Predicates/Quine.
VII (f) 116
Truth values/extension/Quine: even validity and the extension of predicates can be eliminated through truth value tables (truth tables). For an extensional treatment of nominalism see VII (f) 118 > Nominalism.
IX 1
Extensionality law: Classes are identical if their elements are the same. This does not apply to attributes! >Classes/Quine.

Set Theory Set Theory: set theory is the system of rules and axioms, which regulates the formation of sets. The elements are exclusively numbers. Sets contain individual objects, that is, numbers as elements. Furthermore, sets contain sub-sets, that is, again sets of elements. The set of all sub-sets of a set is called the power set. Each set contains the empty set as a subset, but not as an element. The size of sets is called the cardinality. Sets containing the same elements are identical. See also comprehension, comprehension axiom, selection axiom, infinity axiom, couple set axiom, extensionality principle.

Sets Cresswell II 64
Quantity/Cresswell: in the case of a set it is always defined whether an element is in it or not in it - a set is not equal to a (partial) function. >Extensionality, >Extensionality principle, >Set theory.

Superposition Simons I 128
Def Superposition/Simons: when different individuals with identical parts are at the same time in the same place it is called superposition. SimonsVsQuine: instead of "content of one portion space time".
>Spacetime, >Four-dimensionalism.
Such occupiers must be continuants anyway. Events: among events the extensionality principle is fulfilled.
Masses: masses need different meanings of "part".
>Parts, >Mass terms.
I 211f
Superposition instead of coincidence: e.g. ring/gold, e.g. person/body. These are not two individuals, but relation one-many. They are not identical, but take the same space, e.g. ring/gold: have different stories. >Statue/Clay, >Person, >Individuals.
I 223
Superposition/SimonsVsWiggins: that various objects can superimpose follows from the fact that a single piece of material can be in such a state that it simultaneously fulfills different existence conditions ((s) intensionally). Existence conditions: existence conditions are determined by the sortal term (linguistically). Different existence conditions: things can last for different times and still be red at the same time. E.g. (s) an astronaut in the orbit can become uncle.
I 237
Superposition/Doepke/Simons: whenever a and b are superimposed, they must have a common part, they must be composed entirely of a third party, c.

Terminology Russell ad Putnam II 133 ~
Russell: Terminology: a statement corresponds to true facts. Basic constituents of each statement are logically proper names - singular term: all expressions are singular terms. Later self-criticism: not all statements can be reduced to sense data.
I XXXII(Annotation)
Def Extensionality principle: no two different properties can belong to exactly the same thing ((s) but only intensional). E.g., "tall man"/"fat man" may be the same, they are just different intensions (therefore no properties)).
I XVI
Def Intensionality principle: to different definitions belong different terms. Def vicious circle principle/Russell: no totality can contain members that can be defined only in terms of this totality, or members which comprise this totality or presuppose it.

Hintikka I 180
Def apparent variable/Russell/Hintikka: = bound variable. >Bound variable.

II 46
Def "space-like"/Russell: two events are space-like if it is impossible for a body to move fast enough to be present at both events - but it can be "halfway" and perceive both as happening at the same time. Def "time-like"/Russell: two events are time-like if it is possible for a physical body to be present at both events. Borderline case: E.g. two events as part of a light beam or - E.g. an event. perception of the other event: then distance 0.
Def Distance/Russell: is a physical fact which is part of the events and does not depend on the circumstances of observer.

II 20
Paradox of Tristram Shandy/Russell: The retention of the axiom (that there are infinitely many time points beween two time points) leads to other paradoxes of which I call one: the paradox of Tristram Shandy. It is the reversal of the Zenonian paradox and says that the turtle can get everywhere if you give it only enough time. Tristram Shandy needed two years to list the course of the first two days of his life and complained that the material accumulated faster than he could capture it. Russell: I assert now that if he had lived his life that way further on, he would not have missed any part of his biography. For the hundredth part is written in the thousandth year, and so on.
