19. Language / A. Nature of Meaning / 10. Denial of Meanings

9471	Intensions are creatures of darkness which should be exorcised [Quine]
	Full Idea: Intensions are creatures of darkness and I shall rejoice with the reader when they are exorcised.
	From: Willard Quine (Quantifiers and Propositional Attitudes [1955], §II)
	A reaction: Quine seems to be in a diminshing minority with this view. For 'intensions' read 'meanings', presumably.
