A reaction: If we are looking for a gulf between logic and the real world this is a factor to be considered, along with Nietzsche's observation about necessary simplification. [ref to Kaplan 'Afterthoughts' 1989, 584-5] |
16357 | Mental files are the counterparts of singular terms [Recanati] |
Full Idea: Mental files are the mental counterparts of singular terms. | |
From: François Recanati (Mental Files [2012], 3.3) | |
A reaction: A thoroughly satisfactory theory. We can build up a picture of filing merging, duplication, ambiguity, error etc. Eventually neuroscience will map the whole system, and we will have cracked it. |
