Dum I 112
"Philosophy of thoughts"/Evans/Peacocke: Evans thesis: the language has no longer the basic position, - It deals with the problem of what it means to have a thought, and with the structure of thought and its components. What does it mean that a thought is about a subject of one kind or another? What does it mean to grasp a concept? What makes a term a component of a thought?
>Thoughts, >Thought objects, >Belief objects.
I 115
DummettVsEvans: dangerous to reverse the priority of language over the idea (risk of psychologism, when thoughts are subjective and incommunicable).
>Psychologism, >Analytic philosophy/Dummett, >Language and thinking,
>Thinking without language, cf. >Animal language, >Animals.
