19. Language / C. Assigning Meanings / 5. Fregean Semantics

9836	Fregean semantics assumes a domain articulated into individual objects [Dummett]
	Full Idea: A Fregean semantics assumes a domain already determinately articulated into individual objects.
	From: Michael Dummett (Frege philosophy of mathematics [1991], Ch. 8)
	A reaction: A more interesting criticism than most of Dummett's other challenges to the Frege/Davidson view. I am beginning to doubt whether the semantics and the ontology can ever be divorced from the psychology, of thought, interests, focus etc.
