I 344/45
Properties/Quine: are no necessary or contingent properties (VsModal Logic) - are only more or less important properties.
>Properties/Quine.
II 143 ff
"Nec." is predicate in laws, extensional, no quote, but unclear - "Q" (functor) modal logic, intensional
de re: is out of range: x = planets, x = 9, 9 odd - predicate applies to value of the variable, not to the name. - De Re: referencing position.
De dicto: the term that is meant is in the sentence: "nec." planets odd: is wrong.
De re: E.g. spy should be an essential property (wrong) - not a belief de re (essential property).
Modal Logic/Quine: the entire metalanguage is context-dependent - what role does someone or something play? - Same level as essential properties.
Necessity/(Quine: the whole concept only makes sense in the context!
propositional attitude/Quine: is preserved! - But not de re.
>de re/Quine, >de dicto/Quine.
VII (h) 152
Necesity/Quine: works only for intensional objects, they should necessarily be like this or like that (s) conceptually.
X 133
Necessity/principle/Quine: the principle of minimum mutilation is what underlies the logical necessity: it can explain the nature of the necessity which is connected to the logical and mathematical truth. - ((s) > Simplicity).
Rorty IV 60
Necessary/contingent/Quine: there is no distinction between necessary and contingent truths.
