I 379
Chisholm: intensional vocabulary ("importance", "denote", "synonym") is not easy to eliminate by other items.
IX 178
Intensional Relations/Russell: can be different, even though they put the same things in relationship to each other - e.g. attributes of ordered pairs, triples, etc.
VII (h) 150
Ontology/Modality/Intensionality/Extensionality/Quine: an object x must meet this condition to survive:
if S is a sentence with a referencing occurrence of a name of x and S' emerges from S by replacing this name by any other name of x, then S and S' need not only agree in the truth value,
VII (h) 151
but also when "necessary" and "possible" occur as prefixes.
Likewise, the substitution must be kept analytical.
N.B.: so Venus as a physical object is excluded by the simultaneous use of evening star and morning star.
Instead, we now have three objects! The Venus term, the Evening Star term, the Morning Star term.
(s) Terms as objects, these are no material objects anymore.
Quine: also number term (number names) instead of numbers, classes names instead of classes (semantic ascent).
Example "9 Term" and "Number of Planets Term".
N.B.: a number term is not larger or smaller than other number terms. >Extensionality, >Intensions.
