Full Idea
The Russellian notion of a proposition is arguably a better candidate for the status of semantic content than the Fregean notion of a thought. For the proposition remains constant from one person to the next.
Gist of Idea
Russellian propositions are better than Fregean thoughts, by being constant through communication

A Reaction
A good point, though I rebel against Russellian propositions because they are too much out in the world, and propositions strike me as features of minds. We need to keep propositions separate from facts.
