I 110
Predicate/Geach: "predicables": spurious predicates are: e.g.m, "--- smoked a pipe" - "5 is dividable by 5 and by one", as well as for "3...".
Predicate: real predicates are: e.g.,"Russell smoked a pipe" - the identity of predicates with reflexive pronouns is not assured.
I 216
Predicate/Geach: a predicate must never be confused with names. - The term does not denote the object.
>Name/Geach, >Objects, >Denotation/Geach.
I 224
Predicates/Geach: more common property of sentences - but not an actual expression in the sentence.
>Sentences/Geach, >Syntax/Geach.
I 224
"Stand for"/Geach: there is no difference whether I say a predicate "stands for" a property or it is its name.
>Proxy.
I 224
Predicate/Geach: a predicate does not appear as an actual expression in the sentence.
Geach: there is no identity criterion for predicates.
>Identity criterion.
One cannot know whether two predicates stand for the same property.
Equality of use is necessary condition for same reference. - ((s) That is, the extension but not the intension is equal.)
>Intension, >Extension, >Language use, >Speaker meaning.
GeachVsQuine: therefore one should not identify properties with classes.
>Properties/Quine.
I 239
Predicate/Terminology/Geach: I call predicates only like this if they are used as the principal functor in a proposition, otherwise "predicables".
I-predicables/I-predicate/Geach/(s): those predicates in which regard the two objects are indistinguishable in a given theory.
If distinctions can be made in an extended theory, then the I-predicate does not change its meaning - E.g. "uniform" for (different but not at all differentiated) tokens of words, later the tokens are distinguished, but are still "uniform".
I 301
GeachVs two-name theory: error: that if two names denote the same thing, that they then allow the same predicates.
>Denotation/Geach, for "two-name-theory" see >Designation/Geach.
I 301
Predicate/Geach: Predicates such as "become" can only be assigned to concrete terms.
