12220 | Is it the sentence-token or the sentence-type that has a logical form? [Fine,K] |
Full Idea: Do we attribute a logical form to a sentence token because it is a token of a type with that form, or do we attribute a logical form to a sentence type because it is a type of a token with that form? | |
From: Kit Fine (Quine on Quantifying In [1990], p.110) | |
A reaction: Since I believe in propositions (as the unambiguous thought that lies behind a sentence), I take it that logical form concerns propositions, though strict logicians don't like this, for fear that logic spills into psychology. |
