Notes
reprint edition 1972
227 ;;Quote: sense is what determines the truth-value of a sentence while coloring is everything else; e.g., chap vs. guy or man
228 ;;Quote: the meaning of a word depends on truth-conditions (i.e., how it is used); not on the mental images it may arouse; Frege rejected psychologism
228 ;;Quote: it is only in the context of a sentence that a word has meaning
228+;;Quote: by uttering a sentence we make a move in the language game; a linguistic act
228+;;Quote: meaning characterizes the truth conditions of the most general form of a sentence for a word
228 ;;Quote: an object is correlative with a proper name, singular term, or definite description
228+;;Quote: an object may be a human being, heavenly body, a point in space, a proof, or the direction of a line
228 ;;Quote: a predicate results when one or more singular terms are removed from a sentence
229 ;;Quote: every object has a criterion of identity for recognizing the object as the same again; also applies to its names
229 ;;Quote: ostension is inherently ambiguous; "Is this the same as that?"
229+;;Quote: Frege's criterion of identity was for complex names such as "the direction of the line a"
230 ;;Quote: an object is the correlate of a proper name; concepts correspond to one-place predicates; relations correspond to two-place relational expressions
230+;;Quote: objects and concepts are totally different since proper names and predicates are totally different
230+;;Quote: understanding predicates leads to an understanding of concepts
231 ;;Quote: the meaning of a name is its bearer; the significance is what is known when an expression is understood (including its sense)
231+;;Quote: an identity statement may be true (same meaning) and yet informative (different criterion for identity)
231 ;;Quote: a concept is the entity which a predicate means; the meaning of a complex name depends on the meaning, not the sense, of its parts
231+;;Quote: if the truth-value of a sentence changes when the name of an object changes, it is talking about the sense of those names and not the object itself
232 ;;Quote: the sense of a name includes the criterion of identity for the referenced object
234 ;;Quote: the central notion of the cardinal numbers is "just as many as"; i.e., a one-to-one relationship between two sets
234+;;Quote: the central notion of length is "just as long as"
