Gottlob Frege on Term Scope - Dictionary of Arguments
II 28 Term scope/Frege: if two concepts have the same scope, two functions have accordingly the same value range. >Value progression. - - - I 100/101 Def Number/amount/Frege: the set which belongs to the concept F is the scope of the concept "numerically equal to the concept F". I 100 Scope/term scope/Frege: if the straight line a is parallel to the straight line b, then the scope of the concept "straight line parallel to straight line a" is equal to the scope of the concept "straight line parallel to straight line b", and vice versa. This is equality of the term scope. - - - IV 96 Subject/predicate/concept/term scope/Frege: e.g. "All A are B". False: that A was "subject" and B was "predicate". Correct: the predicate "is part of the class". "Some"/FregeVsSchröder: "some" is not a subject. IV 98/99 "Some" does not always designate the same part of a class. This leads to contradictions, "some" is considered the subject. >Subject, >Predicate, >Identity, >Copula, >Sentence, >Someone. IV 99 Universal quantification/Frege: universal quantification is a class below a class. Existential quantification: is an individual below a class. IV 100 "Are" and "is" have no content, i.e. they are copula and not an identity. IV 95 Class/Frege: class is a term scope, not a concept. >Concept, >Object, IV 108 Term scope/scope/Frege: does not have its existence in the individuals, but in the concept itself, i.e. in what is said about an object. IV 112 Scope/concept/term scope/Frege: the scope does not consist of the objects that fall under the concept like a forest consists of trees, but it only has a grip in the concept itself. ((s) Thus, research may reveal that nothing falls under the concept)._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
