Fodor/Lepore Vs: but then have meaningless semantics: brown cows are dangerous would be analytical! Field: thesis: the inferential role equals subjective probability. FL Vs: subjective probability itself is not compositional, e.g. there is no addition of subjective probability about cows and brown things. IV 182 Compositionality/local/global/Fodor/Lepore: e.g. idioms and metaphors are not compositional. Compositionality is local, e.g. the order is important for spelling. Otherwise, it could be global: here, confirmation of theories is carried out through the entire science. Empirical inferences: are global, not local. >Global/local. IV 183 Compositionality: could only be met by a CRT which recognizes the (analytical/synthetical) distinction and is not holistic. (CRT: >Conceptual role semantics.) }, note = { F/L Jerry Fodor Ernest Lepore Holism.
