15. Nature of Minds / C. Capacities of Minds / 5. Generalisation by mind

19169	Predicates are a source of generality in sentences [Davidson]
	Full Idea: Predicates introduce generality into sentences.
	From: Donald Davidson (Truth and Predication [2005], 7)
	A reaction: Not sure about this. Most words introduce generality. 'From' is a very general word about direction. 'Dogs bark' is as generally about dogs as it is generally about barking.
