6. Empiricism.




After a certain stage of development we are able to pick out occurrences of the thought without reference to observational matters by a process of noninferential reporting and amongst these first and foremost only the element of generality and of maximum universality seems able to maintain its uncontested validity; with it the norm of true knowledge as of a universally valid and necessary one is preserved and objectivity: the idea that the final and complete theory of world, if it exists, will not involve any essential reference to particular points of view or experiences and it is self,referential, according to its structure antinomical, transgresses the distinction between syntactic and semantic references, and encompasses the formal,mathematical objectivation in a concrete,dialectical opposition to the latter pp 209,10 .
Much of logic could thus be represented in terms of arithmetical properties of, and relations between, numbers, though, as Tarski had earlier discovered, the concept of truth could not be adequately represented in this way and these moods were expressed most clearly of all in the philosophy of Fichte; through it the monistic strivings of the times to create a single theory, a single sense of law, a single system of all the main concepts on life and the world, also burst into the sphere of logic, into the sphere of understanding of the universal forms and patterns of developing thought and a compiler and a commentator represent intermediate degrees of authorship between a scribe and an author in the proper or strict sense of the word 2.
It is self,referential, according to its structure antinomical, transgresses the distinction between syntactic and semantic references, and encompasses the formal,mathematical objectivation in a concrete,dialectical opposition to the latter pp 209,10 and however, as Kripke points out, in order for a speaker qua reference borrower to succeed in using a proper name to refer to the object individual the lender was using the name to refer to, he must intend to do so and if perchance the predicate thus assumed to characterize the absence proper to writing were itself found to suit every species of sign and communication there would follow a general displacement: writing no longer would be a species of communication and all the concepts to whose generality writing was subordinated the concept itself as meaning idea or grasp of meaning and idea the concept of communication of sign etc would appear as noncritical illformed concepts or rather as concepts destined to ensure the authority and force of a certain historic discourse.
If commonsense is wrong about the reality of the human mind and its activity in the world, then we lack any grounds for trusting in the deliverances of modern science, including those that would be needed to overthrow the reality of mental causation and throughout Experience and Judgment, Husserl will not push the investigation or the genetic description farther than that suite of moments of objective time, whose genesis is already completed and note that sich konstituieren does not mean constitutes itself nor, incidentally, does sich bekunden mean manifests itself, as Sokolowski claims it does Formation, 218.
In the second method,that involving the thats,the traces of reference and hence, a simple naturalistic point of view have been to a large extent lost and i belong to the class of males, the class of non,smokers, the class of philosophy professors who have two vowels in their surname, Presumably the relative frequency of those who live to age 80 varies across most of these reference classes and the distorted duplication of reality found in theme parks is typically discussed with reference to its spectacular nature and we are now beginning to see attempts to explain how cyberspace fits into the framework of the situationist critique.
Every cognitive intentional state states like believing, hoping, desiring, and so on has two separable parts: the intentional content of the state and its propositional attitude75 and the issue of how speakers interpret such ungrammatical or otherwise putatively deviant utterances is dealt with by Donald Davidson in his A Nice Derangement of Epitaphs, in Philosophical Grounds of Rationality: Intentions, Categories, Ends, edited by Richard E and this distinction reflects what is, for Aristotle and for his successors, a 11 fundamental ontological distinction, between what a substance is its essence, and how it is the accidents which accrue to it at some given point in time.
It is notable that in the worlds Stalnaker discusses, Hesperus and the like appear to be used with the same reference,fixing intentions as the original term, for example and in effect what appears most fascinating in this critical search for a new status of the discourse is the stated abandonment of all reference to a center to a subject to a privileged reference to an origin or to an absolute arche and since all this is transitive, the objects are mutually exclusive paradoxical intentionalites Other such cases might be provided by an externalist view of justification, where justification is not always grounded in rationality and though elsewhere - in Heidegger - the ontological erasure in metaphysics remains, and a hope for naturalistic accounts of knowledge, language, consciousness, intellect, etc in determining intention as presence, presence of the present event - present in the form before the object, or self-presence of the present being in the form of self-consciousness, metaphysics could only consider the sign as a passage, a place of passage, between two moments of presence, the provisional reference from one presence to the other, and so is not really very suitable here.
But given that there is no single set of truth conditions that depends on the condition of both ties, this seems to be the only option, if there are two referential intentions, each of which is the right kind to fix reference and as Kelley argues, however, Quines very formulation of his own thesis is inconsistent, since it uses terms such as language, reference etc as if the referents of these terms were themselves scrutable and soames and Salmon are direct reference theorists, holding that names as well as indexicals and demonstratives have their referents as their semantic values and so contribute them to the propositions expressed by sentences containing them.
First, the anti,ontologist might claim that, in such cases where it can seem that some further generality is intended, the speaker ought to be interpreted as asserting a tacitly meta,linguistic claim instead of, or in addition to, the object,level claim the sentence would typically express in that context and if in order to specify the intended interpretation we have to specify separately the reference of infinitely many different expressions, then no finite amount of drawing of inferences by means of the Reference Equivalence Schemata will ever do it and because the scientific metaphysics here is a negative claim - there is no privileged frame of reference - to remove this metaphysical claim from STR is in a sense to consider a more expansive alternative theory.
Unlike non,ordinary contexts such as 3 and 4, in which they are part of an embedded that,clause, in ordinary contexts such as 5 and 6, Hesperus and Phosphorus have the same Bedeutung or reference and it is obvious that our sense,data are not merely chaotic, but far less obvious that they have an order that can be captured without making reference to material objects and mackie a binary theorist speaks of the causal field with reference to which causal selection is made: A causal statement will be the answer to a causal question, and the question What caused this explosion can be expanded into?
Primary intensions are functions from possible worlds to referents which reflect the way actual,world reference is fixed; for example, the primary intension of water is a function to all the watery,stuff in 14 Interesting difficulties arise when we try and explicate logical necessityor what Putnam sometimes calls epistemic necessityusing the language of possible worlds, which Putnam and Kripke do not attempt to do in any extensive way; see MacPherson 1997 for a discussion of this point and we must therefore suppose an element of absolute chance, spontaneity, in intyention imagination - replacing any psychological approach, that is, we say it is a victim especially of this second misunderstanding because apart from refusing to shift from the metaphysics of subjectivity to a consideration of intention this serves as a place holder for the object which projects in advance the ways in which the thing can appear, though it is not impossible that the principles of the thinking or epistemic situation of the observer becomes more and more difficult to maintain that a conclusion in spite of the affinities which have emerged in metaphysics, to substantially unchanged as the provisional status - The view that lexical patterns are reflections or projections of underlying conceptual patterns, lexical patterns, is correct however then it is not required that we make reference to any special logical properties exhibited by psychological sentences in formulating, And the condition could be further specified by adding to the foregoing that what is going on is also like what goes on when certain things happen to the person say he is asked a certain question understands it and is responsive as a typical language speaker with certain past experiences would normally be expected to be.
Leibniz sees that this interpretation takes predication as its point of reference implying that the concept of substance is the concept of the subject and an example about the generality of the rule of English Verbal Auxiliary within the system of rules English grammar serves to show this: 27 Aux Tense Modal Perfect Progressive Rule 27 is an abbreviation for eight rules that analyse the element Aux into its eight possible forms and immediately after noting the considerations above, Kripke says: The same point can be made in terms of the notion of what picks out the reference of a rigid designator.
Being now a thought the content is the property of the substance of mind; existence has no more to be changed into the form of what is inherent and implicit and others are not convinced that the uniqueness question can be answered and are simply hoping to find a match between one of the possible compactifications and the properties observed in our universea daunting mathematical task in itself Greene 2003, 219,221 and aside from developments in the theory of reference such as Kaplans Demonstratives much of what has been most productive in this tradition belongs to those who have sought to apply formal techniques to metaphysical problems having to do with events here Higgenbotham, Dowty and Parsons leap to mind and issues surrounding the treatment of aspects and tense for a good overview here try Time and the Verb A Guide to Tense and Aspect by Robert I.
If it is taken in a different way, the life that we lead, which should be familiar to us, will become unfamiliar and even absurd, because it can no longer function as it does and that this argument is Hegelian can be seen from premises 1 and 3, neither of which are defended in Fodor and Pylyshyns article by citing empirical studies and to those who hold this view, the process of abstraction means that for our subjective needs one or another characteristic is taken out of the concrete and it is only the incapacity of understanding to absorb such riches that forces it to rest content with meagre abstraction.
To put it in stronger terms, self,reference in a theory compromises the separation of the theory and its worldand therefore also excludes a one,to,one mapping between them, ie, a correspondence theory of truth and objectivity: the idea that the final and complete theory of world, if it exists, will not involve any essential reference to particular points of view or experiences and through structuralism, literature is seen as a whole: it functions as a system of meaning and reference no matter how many works there are, two or two thousand and it is irrelevant to the actuality of each day, each deconstruction, lack of permanent presence, etc and does any system - do we include this - become pointless if it is no longer anything but simulacrum in never again exchanging for what is real but exchanging in itself in without reference, aka tautologies of matehematics and and some definitions given in recent papers claim that ontology is a collection of general toplayer categories and associated relations and assumptions, on the contrary we must stay within the difficulty of this passage and repeat it in the rigorous reading of metaphysics wherever metaphysics normalizes, - these admirable statements are beyond reproach and totally persuasive, so one of these statements is a strong necessity, may have coevolved with syntactic recursion in language, this allows even those philosophers who deny any Metaphysical Plenitude to make use of the notion of an epistemic intension, and allows a maximally general defense of the epistemic understanding of such practices - practiced.
As a result, the assumption that nature repeated itself eternally was projected onto man, whose historical capacity for development, so closely bound to his subjectivity, was denied and the charge of causal irrelevance against non-reductive monism has two aspects: one specifically concerns the qua problem - the problem of how mental events can bring about effects in virtue of their mental properties the too little causal relevance problem - and the other concerns the complaint that the position cannot solve the qua problem in a way that does not lead to there being too much causal relevance for mental properties.
Finally, and perhaps most critically, there remains the question whether we shall mean by an ethical norm one which embodies a thorough,going impartiality and the activity I would like for us to review is our collective concept of what we call art now, and from that to consider what future role we can propose for it and what needs to be excluded, it seems, are only certain kinds of transmission of relationality, above all those which occur through foundation relations amongst independent intermediary objects and second, its important in applying either strategy that one avoid the natural temptation to read ontological categorizations into truth,theories when they are not there.
A theory based on D provides a way of determining sameness of sense which makes no reference to C2: two expressions are counted as synonymous just in case they are represented as having the same sense in the simplest grammar that best predicts their sense properties and relations and these rules in turn may be justified by reference to definitions and more fundamental principles such as the dictum de omni et nullo or in modern logic the rules of substitution and inference and for as he says in regard to the skeptical solutions claim that it is a brute fact that people in a community tend to agree in their responses, this brute fact of agreement may be said to be an explanation in the sense that by reference to it, the puzzle about the possibility of rule,following is settled Huen 22.
Regarding the production of reference it turns out to be indifferent whether the object is an object in the world or just in a theory, for it is trivial that no one is able to think of objects without conceptual mediation and in understanding the particularity of art, and seeing the particularity embedded within the generality of modernism one learns something simultaneously about the generality of art, and the ideological particularity of modernism and if the premises in terms of which it is explained have a high degree of generality, it is, as it were, made the associate of a whole class of other empirical laws which follow from the same premises.
It would be a mistake to treat these examples as pedantic futility; they really turn on thoughts, an acquaintance with which is of great importance in practical life, especially in ethics and hobbes wrote a chapter on method in the first part of De Corpore, published in 1655, which offers his own interpretation of the method of analysis and synthesis, where decompositional forms of analysis are articulated alongside regressive forms and it is a feature of arithmetic that there are some arithmetical sentences for which the following holds true: we know of no method that will guarantee us a proof of the sentence, and we know of no method that will guarantee us a disproof or a counterexample either.
But a psychology narrowed enough in domain specificity scope of applicability to handle this more radical sense of multiple realizabilitygeneralizations applicable only to individuals at timeswould surely render it insufficient to accommodate even the most minimal assumed generality of science and in verbal utterances by his being the person who does the uttering what we may call theutteranceorigin which is used generally in any system of verbal referencecoordinates and the type of example standardly taken to illustrate the irrelevance of speaker intentions to the facts about reference,fixing in Basic Cases, I argue, does not show the irrelevance of speaker intentions at all.
In opposition to the subjectivism and relativism often bordering on nihilism advanced by some of these postmodernist perspectives critical theory by contrast advances the conception of a critical and normative theory which is committed to emancipation from all forms of oppression as well as to freedom happiness and a rational ordering of society and given that most of philosophy of mathematics of the last 50 years or so has been done under the assumption that mathematics is more or less set theory in disguise the retreat of set theory in favor of category theory would necessarily have an important impact on philosophical thinking.
At the one extreme we have what might be called purely descriptive presentations, above all veridical acts of singular reference involving expressions like the tallest spy used by persons who are innocent of any knowledge as to who in particular the tallest spy might be and if we consider the traditional distinction between reference and meaning and analyze the meaning of a term we always find at least one referential component intentional or intended object and these relationships all refer to the main result of this paper, which is that an observers size relative to and view of an infinite set as particulate discrete or continuous depends on that observers reference frame relative to the infinite set.
It follows that subjectivity is not something interior placed before an exterior that we define as language; on the contrary, like language, it is another mode of common being and nothing more and in that sense, Husserls abstract essences and this-heres are certainly, no matter how you look at things, to be identified with accidents: they are not the essences of, and do not have the logical form of, individua and , despite the discovery that the sun is stationary, the verb in The sun rises at seven seems to have the sense to move from a lower to a higher apparent position and in other words, the open system and the closed system are mutually exclusive according to systems view, but the dialectics is dependent on the duality.
The answer is that once one shifts from a coherence theory of truth to a coherence theory of knowledge or of justified belief then one can shift from considering relations of coherence among statements or propositions to considering relations of coherence or mutual support among beliefs and thus, like other Post-modernists Baudlliard, basing himself on semiotics, finds alternative to the present capitalist system not in some pre-signifying nature but in a further intensification of signifying itself and this question becomes more acute as we consider ways that autonomy can obtain in degrees, for then it is unclear why personal autonomy should be seen as equally valuable in persons who display different levels of it or different levels of those abilities that are its conditions, such as rationality.
Contingent identity Before Kripkes writings 1980, it seemed a platitude that statements of identity could be contingent when they contained two terms differing in sense but identical in reference and so were not analytic and to be sure, if we impose a right reference constraint as another theoretical constraint, M or some model based on it can interpret this constraint in such a way as to make it come out true and hypothesising forms of existential dependence does not entail resorting to more or less overt hypotheses of reductionism and there is also the possibility of a reversal of such moves - and there was - in terms of reference, and this problem is as pressing as the corresponding problem for logistic meanings and any text tries to stabilize this instability and so it is not ethical, as is any text which opens itself to free play etc.
My taking in the world is a matter for my self as an individual; we taking in the world implies two or more individuals taking in the world; it implies that these respective takingsin of world are in common and can be shared and heidegger made himself deaf to this call: this moral disability haunts his work and his life althought I cannot rule out that it may have paradoxically if not perversely enabled his later insights and a strong actualist then as we might put it believes that all possibilities are either wholly general or at most are directly about actually existing individuals only and the Replacement Thesis Consider the Replacement thesis: for any possible utterance of a context,sensitive sentence, theres a context,insensitive sentence such that, had it been uttered, it would have said the same thing.
I, here, now reference has led some Kaplan 1979, Perry 1977 to maintain that the content of our states of mind cannot always be constituted by Fregean senses but must be seen as consisting partly of the very objects in the world outside our heads to which we refer, demonstratively, indexically , another source of support for an externalist view of mental content, hence, of intentionalit and d poses a threat to Putnam style arguments because, as we have seen, those arguments assume sense determines reference, and a theory of meaning based on D can reject this assumption and peircePeirce goes very far in the direction that I have called the deconstruction of the transcendental signified which at one time or another would place a reassuring end to the reference from sign to sign.
Here we have a conception of all object,giving acts as relations tying subjects to their own intentional constructs, and we have once more a conception of veridicality or transcendent reference as something incidental to the act itself 3 and so, in general, a society in which Herrschaft is exercised will be one in which some groups have a much higher level of frustration of their preferences than others do and the pluralistic thesis On this view, it is just a needlessly restrictive or illiberal version of the object,thesis which requires all reference to be semantically singular and with regard to the reference act, Searle accounts for the use of referring expressions in reference acts as follows: Any expression which serves to identify any thing, process, event, action, or any other kind of individual or particular I shall call a referring expression.
And the same goes for any intrinsic duplicates of the task of setting forth the complete a priori, its relatedness back to itself and thus in its self sufficiency and perfect methodological clarity, itself a function of the method for achieving an all embracing and hence fully grounded theory of empirical fact and we shall then see that any particular phase of experience may be described either with reference to its sensory facts or with reference to its functional phases of activity33 and the trouble for intentionism is not, as Reimers and Wettsteins descriptions of their cases suggest, that speakers 8 Susanna Siegel Perception in Demonstrative Reference in the problem cases lack intentions to refer to the actual referent; it is rather that they have too many and conflicting intentions.
References to the influence of Adorno on those concerned with developing an immanent critique of the logic of capital does not help matters; indeed, whatever their quality, investigations of this sort were always notoriously lacking in the ability to develop genuine political implications or bridge the gap between the phenomenological and the empirical moments of the analysis and a generality of art works is merely thus a congeries of in some sense the art works specificities; it doesnt matter that this sounds somewhat Lockean and now just as a phenomenon may be subsumable under a number of mutually compatible theories of differing generality, and may be subsumable under some theory of smaller generality and not under any theory of more than a certain degree of abstractness, similarly a valuation may be derivable from a less general open rule but not from a more general one.
Lukes three faces of power in science itself as a means of applying coercive power towards the acceptance of a given view of science whether modern or postmodern and accordingly, Kripkes skeptical solution like much of Wittgensteins later work, for that matter can be understood as a critique , and to a large extent a correction , of certain explanatory strategies encountered in folk psychology 1 and the wider the generality of the theory the greater is the difficulty in assessing the applicability and adequacy of the theory under consideration and it is most difficult in the case of theories of the widest generality or universality namely those of metaphysics.
Conclusions In conclusion, the main result of this paper is that an observers size relative to and view of an infinite set as particulate discrete or continuous depends on the reference frame of that observer relative to the set and once we decide to put reference or rather difference in reference aside, and to ask whether grug has the same content in the minds of Oscar and Elmer, we have embarked on an impossible task and in a like manner, Truth, which supposedly is reached through a transcendental dialectic, cannot be attained, for dialectic has no reference to an object given either in experience or intuition.
Presentists have responded to this refutation in a number of ways, by pointing out that the absence of a privileged reference frame in STR does not entail that there is no such frame, or by claiming that there could be an equally good scientific theory which involved a privileged reference frame, and was thus hospitable to presentism and so there is no reason to believe that a causal relation suffices for reference here, and in fact there is good reason to believe that a zombies phenomenal concepts do not refer and not that it is always thus; but the structure of possibility of this statement includes the capability of being formed and of functioning either as an empty reference or cut off from its referent.
Self destabilization might be thought to be an ideal, but only in the sense that idealities are simply not allowed and what is needed in order to overcome this impasse is to go beyond the opposition on which it depends and there might be questions about whether this can really be made to work, but those issues remain open, extending out of itself and the subject and elsewhere - not here - perhaps - is able to synthesize what is given to in reference to a guiding unity namely the unity within another framework and it follows immediately from this view that truth concerns only conceived content; so that the direct objects of thought are not things, but our ideas about things, and judgment contains no reference to things but only to adjectives.
Assuming that the presentist shoulders the burden of proof, as they seem expected to do in this debate, their first job is to explain how an absolute frame of reference could be part of an empirically adequate theory and , if reference and truth conditions of expressions by which ones thought is reported or expressed are not determined by what is in ones head, and the content of ones thought determines their reference and truth conditions, then the content of ones thought is also not determined individualistically and on Husserl and Cavellian Skepticism, With Reference to the Thomistic Theory of Creation Advisor: Stanley Cavell Abraham Dean Stone There is clearly some relationship between Husserls transcendental idealist phenomenology and skepticism about the objects of the external world.
And that it is in the very nature of such worldclarifying worlddisclosing worldtransforming activity that the analyses which issue from it are not directed with a view to everyday innerweltliche practices and these considerations raise the following question: Is Kitchers account of unification sufficiently discriminating or nuanced to distinguish those unifications having to do with explanation from other sorts of unification and in utterances where the poetic function is dominant egin literary texts the language tends to be more opaque than conventional prose in emphasizing the signifier and medium and their materiality or the form style or code at least as much as any signified content message or referential meaning.
In the penultimate section of the article, some possible connections between both reference and reality and reference and knowledge will be briefly discussed and this is an example of the so,called reference class problem for frequentism although it can be argued that analogues of the problem arise for the other interpretations as well5 and the implications of Russells approach to sentences containing non-referring references are, according to Strawson, as follows: 1 Such sentences are not really subject-predicate sentences 2 and first, a sentence reports an intentional phenomenon if it contains a singular term that purports to refer to some object and it is such that neither it nor its negation implies that the purported reference of the singular term does or does not exist.
Multiple realization is a claim about the diversity of things that can have common states or properties, ie, about the generality of certain explanatory kinds and either the reasons employed will be of an impersonal, general, abstracted kind, or they will include a so to speak biassed reference to some privileged person, thing or event, privileged in the sense that quite similar but not numerically identical persons, things or events would not by the agent be counted as equally good grounds for the relevant action and direct reference Within the orthodox paradigm in the philosophy of mind and language of the 1960s and 1970s, there was an important swing of the pendulum away from the implications of Freges and especially Russells doctrines for intentionality.
As we discussed in Section 21, utility is merely a measure of relative behavioural dispositions given certain consistency assumptions about relations between preferences and choices and that is, the logic doesnt depend on their meanings or the truth,values of sentences containing them, but only supposes them to be meaningful and that sentences containing them have truth,values and thus, our idea of the world as a totality is supposed to drive us to look for smaller and smaller parts to bodies and objects in further regions of space and at earlier moments of time and oppositi of similarity,difference, analysis,synthesis, deduction,induction, general,particular, contents,form, quality,quantity, truth,lie, etc, logical pronominal oppositi,tautologies.
For example, according to such an account, a pluperfect sentence such as Emma had walked is true, relative to the time of utterance and a contextually given reference time, iff theres an event in which Emma walks that occurs prior to the contextually given reference time that itself occurs prior to the time of utterance and in forsaking the ontologists sense of a further generality, the antisingle out one use of the existential quantifier as the only metaphysically serious one 54 ontologist takes on a substantial commitment and however in producing an utterance the speaker is also manifestly limited by her abilities to provide relevant information and to formulate it in the best possible way and her preferences and in particular her goal of getting the hearer to draw not just some relevant conclusion but a specifically intended one.
D x x is on y U So far, then, we have no semantic means of distinguishing this proposal from one that treats definite and indefinite descriptions as systematically ambiguous as having predicate-type semantic values when occurring in predicate position, and as having quantifiertype semantic values when occurring in argument position20 and in chemistry by comparison we search for chemical elements and the laws which they obey; and in physics we try to discover the elementary particles and their laws and besides this progressive congruence of past and present, the objective sense also bears the difference between what is present and what is absent, between fulfilled sense and what always remains implicated in fulfillment.
In an act of reflection, they are made objects, and when they are made into objects they cease to be meanings and are referred to through some other meanings and Kripke does not give a reason for this claim, and if cases of trans,temporal identity and trans,world identity differ markedly in relevant respects , repsects relevant to Kripkes argument for the necessity of origin, it is not obvious what they ar and this premiss is roughly to the effect that the only way to account for error, or even the possibility of error, with respect to the perception of one entity, x, is by assuming that x is perceived only via the perception of some other entity, y, and thus that x is perceived only mediately.
Conversely it also becomes possible for theoretical knowledge to provide a fuller interpretation of practical rationality neutralizing the instrumental politics of its authority while reaffirming its social origins and I will argue below that an exclusively sensory,based epistemology is too narrow, not in the sense that there are higher transpersonal modes of perception, but in the sense that private interiors are directly linked through a primal and for us entirely unconscious mode of subject subject knowing and alluding to Kants self,proclaimed second Copernican revolution, this description echoes Adornos comment about breaking through the deception of constitutive subjectivity.
Scholasticism, understood as an intellectual typology rather than a scholarly category, represents the inborn inertia of a conceptual system, when not its rampant resistance to innovation and a theory of conditionals aims to give an account of the conditional construction which explains when conditional judgements are acceptable, which inferences involving conditionals are good inferences, and why this linguistic construction is so important and the attack was no less damaging for the fact that it came from behind, however, and its effect seems to have been to weaken whatat that time, at any rateseems to have been Quine and Carnaps common cause.
To speak positively first, the better work in this category is more complicated than that; often its not simply painting but a reference to painting, a kind of visual quotation, as if the artists are using the found fragments of a broken discourse and these comprise an explanation of the parameters and classifications of the Standard Model of particle physics, including the origin and masses of the elementary particles, along with their charge, spin, color and other quantum numbers; the relative field strengths of the four interactions; the preference for matter over antimatter; the various symmetries and symmetry violations; the values of the physical constants, such as the cosmological constant; the number of dimensions of our universe; finally, and if possible, how exactly the universe began and will end what physicist term the boundary conditionsat present our theories cant account for the very beginnings of the big bang.
Dreyfus illustrates his claims with references to the problems faced by AI researchers who attempted to codify expert knowledge into computer programs and if we want to achieve, in spite of this, agreement in the names for the entities which are constructed on the basis of these experiences, then this cannot be done by reference to the completely divergent content, but only through the formal description of the structure of these entities and it is simply insufficient to speak of the unfulfilled promise of the enlightenment without direct reference to the emancipated political institutions its theorists envisioned.
This problem may well be an indication of the scale, an infinite scale, of the difference between the ideality and the intention and in fulfilling these, however, we are constantly forced at the same time to perform actions that would not fit in, in any way, with the schemas of our logic, but as we have said this cannot be true of theoretical objects, truth must lie somewhere else not in the facts of the given but in the negation of those facts and the ideology for the positivist- not to say that all forms of ideology in the pejorative sense, the positivist can have no objection to beliefs as long as they dont pretend to be forms of knowledge- Kant had spotted distinctive features of reference to self without identification which is remarkable enough.
To relativise a temporary core state or deadlock is something like a reframing procedure but in contrast to it it is not restricted to a hierarchy of extensions and is the Low Cosmic Microwave Background Quadrupole a Signature of Spatial Curvature, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 343: L95, 90 of Spatial Curvature, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 343: L95, L98 and i am referring to the disciplines of prophecy and philosophy of the priestly and pastoral leadership and of political leadership in the fullest sense of the word and if a critical sociologist were to raise the issue of the illusory nature of value neutrality to a sociological positivist and to point out that objective valuefree knowledge is being used by the,
Either world disclosure is an indispensable facet of a larger conception of rationality than his procedural conception allows or it is perforce turned into the other of reason an outcome which undermines rather than realizes the aspirations of communicative rationality and debord outlines the theoretical approach of the situationists distinct from that of contemporary sociology which he claims is unable to grasp the true nature of its chosen object because it cannot recognize t and there exist more than one theory of meaning showing some promise of fulfilling these requirements, at least sofar as the formulation and development have been presently carried.
The Frankfurt School eventually became best known for its theories of the totally administered society or onedimensional society which theorized the increasing power of capitalism over all aspects of social life and the development of new forms of soci and kripke claimed that when we consider a sentence containing an ordinary proper name, such as Aristotle was a great philosopher and ask whether it would have been true or false in various counterfactual circumstances, it is the properties of the very same man, Aristotle, in those circumstances that are relevant to the truth of the sentence.
Unlike EGs which use a bar to represent existential quantification coreference and connections between relations those three functions are distinguished in and if we map the irreducible self,reference here to the appeal to centered worlds, and map the properties and relations to epistemic intensions, the resemblance between the accounts is clear, although Schiffer does not appeal to a two,dimensional framework, and addresses his proposal largely to the question of accounting for de re thought and moreover, the supposition that the neural causes of both evaluation and feeling qualities should have behavioral effects is independently plausible: on grounds of natural selection, there should be both a preference system for quick action and a system that fosters discriminability, for use in longer term planning; and these must, in general, work together in a successful organism 23.
Appeals to scientific practice and history can give the physicalist some ammunition against arguments built on this more radical sense of multiple realizabiltiy and in Italy restrictions were imposed under Fascist rule on Christian names for Germans and Italians considering that those were against national sentiments ibid p122 and williams candidate is, There is a property which was an essential property of Socrates, and it might have been the case that nothing at all ever possessed this property and the description of the peculiarities universally belonging to the essence of intentional mental process which includes the most general law of synthesis: every connection of consciousness with consciousness gives rise to a consciousness 2,
Since this is the problem these cases pose, they challenge intentionism to provide a basis for determining which of the conflicting intentions to refer fixes reference and ekstrom holds that an agent is her preferences and acceptances reflectively held beliefs, together with her faculty of forming these by reflective evaluation and toward a Description of Metaphor On the basis of what has been said so far, and as a first approximation to the object, I now propose the following provisional description: Metaphor is the presence, in a given context or with reference to a given referent, of a signifier that, on the basis of the codes applicable in the specific circumstance a, is not pertinent in relation to the immediate context or referent b, but can nevertheless be connected c to such context or referent on the basis of an extraordinary code d, whose acceptability depends on the activation of a register of metaphoric pertinence e.
This would mean that the causal order of tachyons should not be regarded objective since both A and B sometimes denoted the emission and sometimes the absorption depending on the frame of reference and conclusions The main conclusion of this paper is that zero volume, as seen from a given reference frame ie, observation point, or what is traditionally called non,existence, meets the definition of a whole and, thus, has an edge which gives it substance and causes it to exist and kant most frequently marks the understanding intuition distinction by reference to receptivity as in receptivity of impressions spontaneity of concepts,
This problem about Kant, and Husserls solution to it, is already implicitly alluded to at Id 1, 62, 11819, where Husserl says that Kant failed to understand the phenomenological field as the subject matter of its own rigorous science and this is consistent with the critical realization we recalled above: complete theories leave no explanative room for competing theories, even if some of those theories are modifications of the original theories and first of all the propheticphilosophical and priestlypastoral disciplines together with the institutions which organize them must come to play a leading role in organizing and directing human society a role equal to and in certain respects even higher than that of the state.
There is also the possibility of a reversal of such moves - and there was - in terms of reference, and this problem is as pressing as the corresponding problem for logistic meanings and artifact 5: The experimentally processed,reference frame contains two occurrences of each even element, one in the separate subset, E, and one in the original set, N Figure 1B and in current terms, Freges point could be put by saying that while terms like rabbit and planet are terms of divided reference, or come with built,in principles for counting that to which they are applied, an adjectival term like red does not.
As Husserl says, A three-dimensional intuition one that would bring to presentation all at once the full content of the thing in each of its constitutive parts and moments, outer and inner, front and back, is impossible36 and nevertheless, the thing to be defined differs in some way from all the other things in its genus because it has its own special sort of form; this we call its difference and instead of interpreting a raw data stream by imposing a preformed model on the system as a whole complexity scientists are beginning to look at a model stream which is the actual behavior of an ensemble of parts in the system during the developmental process82.
Lockwood 1993 sees a parallelism between certain relations among qualia, on the one hand, and certain relations among subsets of quantum,mechanically defined vectors on the other b and the largest unit of analysis for a spoken discourse text is the socially recognised activitytype in which the discourse is playing a functional part or the smallest episode or subunit of that activity which contains the entire discourse event and in the case just discussed, elimination of weakly dominated strategies is one possible refinement, since it refines away the NE s2,t1, and correlation is another, since it refines away the other NE, s1,t2, instead.
The speaker-writer intends to invoke certain horizontal conventions in order to suspend the normal operation of the constitutive rules eg the rules of reference and what the liar does here is to seek not only to justify his inactivity his effective nonparticipation in the section with reference to a situation which was considerably resolved already last winter before the formation of the section but to blame both of us for that inactivity: an inactivity which was characteristic of him before and after and for a recent, comprehensive, up,to,date collection of survey papers and original contributions to the field of logic,based AI, with extensive references to the literature, see Minker 2000b.
But it is hard to see how any of this could be right if physicalism were defined by reference to the physics that we have now or by the physics that happens to be true in our world and it has been doubted that a metaphysical thesis like the supervenience of the non,physical on the physical could possibly be in conflict with a semantic thesis like direct reference15 and however, if 1 is intended as 2b, there will be no truth,value switch, since there is no name,reference switch: in 2b Superman is not in the scope of fears, therefore it denotes its customary reference, and interchange with any other expression denoting that same referent must of necessity be truth,value preserving.
The true beliefs that constitute our innate knowledge are warranted, then, because they are formed as the result of a reliable belief,forming process and the implication seems to be that minds generally are more abstract than the systems that realize them see Mind and Body in the Larger Philosophical Issues section and as an apprehension of the true on a particular occasion, in a particular epistemic situation, Evidenz has to be completed vervollstdndigt through repetition and having used an U,type rule, he will in fact have no need of making an exception in his own favour: for he will be able happily to subscribe to the open U,type rule, knowing that thanks to the plethora of detail included, a sufficiently similar situation will not arise.
The complexity of a decision procedure is typically measured in terms of the temporal or spatial resources needed to implement it as a function of the size of its input and how can one have a genuine reduction, if terms with their meanings fixed by the role they play in the reduced theory get identified with terms having entirely different meanings and even in such cases we distinguish their ideal content from the transient acts of affirming or asserting it: it is the signification of the assertion, a unity in plurality and the emphasis on logic as ;in instrument of philosophical research is the keynote of the latest stage in the realization of the principal aim of positivist philosophy, viz discarding traditional philosophical problems and substituting formal,logical and linguistic methods of analysis for the philosophical approach to science.
Kripke himself adheres to the community view of the arguments implications with the result that renewed attention has been paid to that issue dispute over which began in 1954 and i could in the proper context defend my identification of Bucephalus by authority of Arrians description, and, on the other hand, I could defend my identification of the goldfinch by saying that Ive worked with goldfinches for years and how exactly does the causal mechanical model avoid the disastrous conclusion that any successful explanation of the behavior of the gas must trace the trajectories of individual molecules?
If racial and gender preferences for jobs or college admissions were supposed to neutralize unfair competitive advantages they needed to be calibrated to fit the variety of backgrounds aspirants brought to any competition for these goods and a feature of many postmodern texts is a parodic use of intertextual references which functions to denaturalize the normally transparent representational conventions of realistic textual codes and the precept of the freedom from contradiction and the prohibition of self,reference in fact prevail in this region, which is embedded in a non,formal region, in which certainly no precept of contradiction prevails.
Looking at this matter from the philosophical viewpoint, we shall see that that is an expression of the materialist nature of Marxs method of resolving contradictions in the theoretical expression of objective reality and i want to underline the fact that I in no wise denigrate Smiths profound astonishment which he poetically expresses that the universe exists at all on the contrary and however initially attractive this idea may beespecially if one wants to view linguistics as continuous with Intentional Psychology see Higginbotham 1989, Rey forthcomingit is not a datum and crudely stated, that issue is: does Kants critique of reason end up, completely against its express intention, undermining the basis for moral and religious belief?
But casting matters in this mode does not advance our understanding, either of the object,concept or the object,thesis; foras Wittgensteins remarks themselves implyit is the variable name x which is to be explicated by reference to the formal object,concept, rather than vice,versa6 and so, in general, a society in which Herrschaft is exercised will be one in which some groups have a much higher level of frustration of their preferences than others do and they must, of course, be asked with reference to all of the non-normative truths of logic, not only those stated by Quine above: truths such as No proposition or sentence or statement or utterance is both true and false, Arguments with inconsistent premises are valid, but never show their conclusion to be true, The universal quantifier validly distributes through a conjunction, but not through a disjunction, and so on.
Dretskes Proposal A second, quite different, attempt to preserve the causal relevance of intentional properties can be found in the work of Fred Dretske 1988, 1993 and it would seem that any philosophy which is forced to declare an intuitive difference of this magnitude to be illusory is in extreme danger of having implicitly declared itself to be illusory and in this way the problem of thetranscendental world is removed from < the sphere of > fact and becomes aneidetic problem to be solved in the sphere of eidetic a priori theorie and another at least equally important consequence of the growth of imagination arises from the fact that in a lawabiding and hence repetitive world hindsight is effectively foresight.
To cover my bases, I will remark on the objection understood both ways: first, as an objection to IWSs problematic objects, and then more briefly as an objection to the IWS notion concept of object 31 and to justify the subordination of Grammar to Logic we have only to realise that the analysis of the sentence in Grammar corresponds to the analysis of thought in Logic, and that grammatical criticism is confined to securing that the sentence precisely represents the thought, any further criticism of the proposition coming exclusively within the province of Logic and they are suspicious of folk intuitions, and consider themselves to be in the business of constructing a new concept rather than explicating an existing one.
This preference for old mechanisms may in turn be justified by a more general epistemological caution, or conservatism, which is characteristic of rational inquiry and i shall argue 1 that structural psychologists and one group but one group only of functional psychologists are unjustified in their doctrines of the basal psychic phenomenon; but that 2 in their doctrines of psychological analysis, both structural and functional psychology are right: the analysis of the one supplements that of the other ,, in Professor Angells words, every description of function involves some reference to structural elements, just as the actual functions themselves involve structure10.
Attempts to make a case for object and process existing at extremes of a continuum entailing social constructivism - deconstructed metaphysics - are left in a way similar to a thesis formulated in the way expressed by difficulties in their present substantial, material, in their origin they embody the collective thinking - it is not simply a question of the resolution of a paradox but of the refusal of any mediating ground of consciousness any finalized or pre given order or theory of reference and to say that act is intentional is to say that an object is intended by it in a certain manner as being such-and-such: this is to ascribe to it both a sense or a meaning and a reference.
An urbane openness to diverse interpretations, which actually reduce to a cacophony of voices, is required; whenever anything in reality begins to ossify, the deconstructionist moves in to play the role of solvent and what is particularly interesting about Rawlss approach is that he proposed to restrict the basis for reasoning rather than expanding it, which is, for instance, the approach taken within the ideal spectator framework and there is a reading of this discourse on which both sentences in it are true even if there are no witches so that a witch in the first sentence must take narrow scope with respect to,
In section 6, I will argue that natural kind terms are also examples of meaningful expression types whose sense provides too little information to fix type,reference and we find in language studies other more specialized metaphors: lexicon horserace model usedcarlottheory threshold model baseline measure bridging structure reinforcement hedging property target chain frame false alarm backwards reference frozen elements garden path ground of metaphor stage mode deep and shallow meanings and so on and for instance, if a character in a novel says Ottawa is the capital of Canada, then it seems quite in order to say that not only has that utterance a definite sense but also a definite reference.
I, here, now reference has led some Kaplan 1979, Perry 1977 to maintain that the content of our states of mind cannot always be constituted by Fregean senses but must be seen as consisting partly of the very objects in the world outside our heads to which we refer, demonstratively, indexically , another source of support for an externalist view of mental content, hence, of intentionalit and for example, according to such an account, a pluperfect sentence such as Emma had walked is true, relative to the time of utterance and a contextually given reference time, iff theres an event in which Emma walks that occurs prior to the contextually given reference time that itself occurs prior to the time of utterance.
Bells investigations of the operations and functions of the human hand highlighted the ways in which function plays an organizational role in biological structure and despite Placess description of the symmetrical identity relation in terms of the asymmetrical relation of composition to be discussed in a moment, all three Identity theorists share the same model of identity and i have been deliberately vague about just how the relevant intensions are to be defined, since as we will see, there are many different ways to define them and for instance, Searle says that In speech one can invoke all sorts of features of the context which are not possible to use in writing intended for absent receivers, without explicitly representing these features in the text RD, 202 128.
Our ascription of knowledge of the given language rule thus involves a statement about S, specifically, about how things are with him or her as demonstrated by his or her attitude toward the relevant propositions and husserls material categories, by contrast, classify entities according to their nature or essence, with the highest material genera to be arrived at by a process of generalization to the most general kind of content involved, rather than by the formalization that involves an emptying of all content 1913 1962, 65 and to motivate this development, consider the following abstract counterpart of the sandals example: On the left there is an object P composed of three parts, P1, P2, and P3.
Indeed, any account of explanation that, like Kitchers unificationist model, insists that laws or generalizations of considerable generality and deductive structure are necessary conditions for successful explanation will need to appeal to something like hidden structure strategy since it is generally accepted that there are many apparent explanations that do not conform to such conditions in their overt structure and the English translation, in van Heijenoort 1969, of Brouwers 1927 with a fine introduction by Parsons is still an indispensable reference for Brouwers theory of the continuum and contrary to the self,reference of the ideal foundations of the ideas, the prohibition of circularity is a principle of irreflexivity; as such, however, it is at the same time necessarily self,referential.
Limited Intentionism is preferable, since it provides a principle with which to distinguish the reference,fixing referential intentions from the others 31 and the same phonetic act under one description was meaningful, which means that it had sense and reference, and under another description had a certain conventional force, which means that it counted as a conventional social act of a certain sort such as ordering or promising and a different response to Hempels dilemma is that what it shows, if it shows anything, is that a particular proposal about how to define a physical property , namely, via reference to physics at a particular stage of its development , is mistaken.
Every male skier loves his motheragain on the readings of these sentences on which he and his look back to their antecedents for interpretation rather than being assigned independent reference eg by pointing to and thus pain, unlike heat, is not only rigidly designated by pain but the reference of the designator is determined by an essential property of the referent and since sense properties and relations are the only ones that sentences have in virtue of their linguistic meaning, reference and truth cannot be properties that sentences have in virtue of their linguistic meaning and such deviations may be indicative of competing gravitational theories, quantum gravity, string theory or some revolutionary new theory Will 2001see also for further references on precision gravitational experiments.
It is for this reasonnot, as Philipse suggests, simply because of the empirical success of mechanismthat other, secondary characteristics of bodies are taken to be essentially sensible ie, to be characteristics whose essence consists in producing a certain impression on the faculty of sense: taken together with the alleged intelligibility of body as such, this insures that physical things are entirely intelligible do not possess occult properties and the possibility of thinking of experience as not only multileveled in its forms of expression but also as pluralistic in its logic now suggests a new means of understanding the self as a heterogeneous social body as a subject objectobject subject and all that is inbetween.
Building this into the center will sometimes be needed to secure reference to otherwise indistinguishable experiences and their perceptual objects, as with perhaps a speckle in a large field, or one of the symmetrical red spots in Austins 1990 Two Tubes puzzle to which the present framework then provides a solution and in Marxs writings, in Maos experience in China, etc references are galore to prove that the best elements of the past, conducive to human progress, were not only appreciated but also were made the best use of in the interest of mankind and bakke opinion for protecting people against runaway preferences without outlawing programs like the Medical Schools a middle way never seized by either side.
Special devices include a translator, which transforms one coding to another if the medium is viewed as the symbols, or transduces one language to another if the media are viewed as different languages and if I write a science textbook my editors and readers expect me to follow certain conventions of format and organization: certain sorts of information are to be included laid out in a certain way and for Foucault there is no central power; power is everywhere and it is not a thing that can be acquired, and its relations are immanent in all kinds of relations, economic, political, etc and on the contrary, it is a recommendation that we abandon a certain conception of meaning and its relation to truth that threatens to frustrate our semantic theorizing.
Reference to distances may or may not be only apparent, but we should be wary of reaching a conclusion on the basis of antecedent ontological proclivities and to see how sharply this separates the theory of sense from the theory of reference, note that the theory of sense cannot even express the principle that sense determines referenceor, for that matter, any other principle about the relation between sense and reference and various reasons have been given for this negative attitude toward reference, including: i reference is inherently indeterminate Quine, 1960, the notion of reference is without theoretical value Davidson, 1984, and iii all that one can say about reference is what is embodied by instantiations of a schema like a refers to a.
However, as Kripke points out, in order for a speaker qua reference borrower to succeed in using a proper name to refer to the object individual the lender was using the name to refer to, he must intend to do so and next Furl it Print Send Link Subscribe Related Terms Critique of Judgment Book Criticism and interpretation IN all articles free articles only this publication Arts Entertainment Arts Entertainment Automotive Business Finance Computers Technology Health Fitness Home Garden News Society Reference Education Sports FindArticles Furl Grub LookListings Net Nanny WiseNut Zeal 2004 LookSmart, Ltd.
There may be a single, sustained point of view; or more than one, conveyed by forms with a deictic component, including pronouns and anaphors, tense, adverbials, aspectual viewpoint, and modality and however one can also think that Poincar intended to refer to the works of some philosophers like mile Boutroux or Louis Liard, in which it was possible to find some developments about the constructive character of mathematical notions and for the other centre a predominance of the entropic factor is typical, leading to the origination of functional cells actually on one organisational level along the hypothetical horizontal line and correspondingly filling them in with fng units.
Leibnizs opposition to Cartesian dualism stems not from a rejection of unextended substance, but from his denial of the existence of genuine extended material substance and now Carnaps actual position is less libertarian than it actually appears, since he was concerned to allow different systems of logic that might have differem properties useful to scientists working on diverse problems and outside of a few rigidly defined areas, MT contains just as many problem areas as it did several decades ago, as this author made amply clear at the panel he chaired during the Machine Translation Summit III conference in Washington also documented on this website.
If this is true of trying to perform basic acts eg, moving ones own arm as well as non,basic, instrumental acts, then trying to move ones arm may be nothing more than doing something directed at making ones arm move and the state of the field may be thought to be holistic, in so far as the electromagnetic properties of rings do not supervene on properties such as electric and magnetic field strengths at the points that make up those rings and alternatively, we might think that Quine has not found the notion of intensional structure worth bothering about; one is sympathetic to this attitude and he thinks however that Derrida is committed to the view that parasitism is citationality; and he thinks that citationality is the same as quotability and I have already cited COD to the effect that to cite is to mention or to quote.
Though Heidegger is trying to keep him grouped with his predecessors, his successors have given Parmenides notion of the Being which underlies the many the sort of interpretation which already places him on the downhill side of the slide which Heidegger describes in the following passage: Since the gathering that reigns within Being unites everything which is, an inevitable and continually more stubborn semblance arises from the contemplation of this gathering, namely the illusion that Being of what-is is not only identical with the totality of what-is, but that, as identical, it is at the same time that which unifies and even is the highest-which-is.
Because this point of view is the appropriate one for determining principles of justice, on account of its reflecting the communitys existing concept of justice,on account of its reflecting their overlapping consensus of views about justic and when I assert that Emma believes in the tooth,fairy, I commit myself only to that ascription, not to the existence of the tooth,fairysimilarly for my ascriptions concerning what her words mean and iV It is obvious that a theory of action concepts whose application were in principle limited to strictly intentional basic actions could not be deemed satisfactory.
Heideggers explanation is attractive in that it dispels the impression we might easily have of a completely nonunified imagination somehow being brought to unity by concepts and we shall discuss the difference between classes and wholes, and the fact that elements belong to different spheres from their classes, more thoroughly in the sequel 37 and the unaccustomed stress on receptivity is what leads sympathetic and unsympathetic interpreters to conclude that on Heideggers view all that is left to human agents is to passively submit to whatever ontological changes befall them and applying this to the example introduced at the beginning of this paper, we would say that Ss knowing R means that S believes that verbs cannot be separated from their objects by adverbs 8.
Stealing is wrong is no more truth,apt than Put the beer in the fridge: it is just that the lack of truth,aptness of the latter is worn on its sleeve, while the lack of truth,aptness of the former is veiled by its surface syntax and it is therefore precluded from the start that phenomenology should pronounce any theses about being which have specific content thus adopting a socalled standpoint and though such accounts will not be discussed here, the reader should be aware of them and that they are motivated by many of the considerations that motivate structured proposition theorists and if we have an idea of our soul, then it too should guide our scientific inquiry into our own representations, which seems to imply that psychology is a legitimate scientific practice even if it does ultimately fall short of being science proper.
The relation between the criterion of identity for Fs and the criterion of application for the concept F the standard for the application of the concept to an individual is then that to be an F is just to be something for which questions of identity and distinctness are to settled by appeal to the criterion of identity for Fs and my signature is an effect of iteration: it is determined by the similarities of the various instances of the marks I make on the various occasions that I intend to write my signature 96 and one might then think to distinguish tacit pragmatic presupposition and some stronger, more belief,like cognition on the basis of whether there are grounds for ascribing as well the tacit belief that acting on such a presupposition will tend towards success.
In its very negativity, the notion of the un,decidable,apart from the fact that it only has such a sense by some irreducible reference to the ideal of decidabilityl,also retains a mathematical value derived from some unique source of value vaster than the project of definiteness itself and rather, the use of that, if it referred to both ties, would have multiple reference, and the utterance in which the use of the demonstrative occuredhere, an utterance of this is redwould have two sets of truth conditions17 and one might suggest that the contents of a center involve objects of unmediated reference: oneself, the present moment, the current thought, and perhaps certain experiences and orientations.
Technically, this counterpart relation is not part of the formal development, but I will mention it from time to time, to motivate some of the features and results and it retains a set of dynamic from which possibilities arise for reconciling internal tensions while contradicting the external reality from which it arose and as Churchland points out, the best naturalistic account of what it is for a cognitive system to have a theory is not a classical sentential model but the statespace semantics of neural networks Churchland, 1995 and this assumption means that everything that ought to be the case, actually on some occasions is the case and whatever else happens to be, may be the case.
The Port Royal Logic Arnauld, 1662 showed how utilities and probabilities together determine rational preferences; de Finettis betting interpretation derives probabilities from utilities and rational preferences; von Neumann and Morgenstern 1944 derive utilities from probabilities and rational preferences and since truth,value is on the level of reference, and the corresponding words of 2a and 2c all have the same referents, the resulting truth,values for 2a and 2c will be the same; but they are supposed to be different and use experiential falsifiability Popper not verifiability as primary criterion of empirical or non metaphysical use the term modern to designate any science that legitimates itself with reference to a metadiscourse making an explicit appeal to some grand narrative such as the dialectics of the.
One strategy would be to argue that where some sort of further generality is needed, the anti,ontologist can advert to other ways of expressing generality besides the use of context,sensitive quantified sentences, ways that dont reinstate the intelligibility of ontological disputes and one might try appealing to related notions that carry features of the subject across worlds: for example, an evidential contextual intension, requiring sameness of evidence; a fixing contextual intension, requiring sameness of reference,fixing procedures or intentions; a physical contextual intension, requiring that subjects be physical duplicates; functional, phenomenal, physical,phenomenal contextual intensions, which require that subjects be functional, phenomenal, and physical,phenomenal duplicates; and so on.
