Hacking I 62
"Really"/realism/Austin: a) Ordinary language: "not really cream": to dismiss contemptuously - b) There is no clear methodological rule and consistent meaning of "realism".
"Really" does not add anything to a declaration - E.g. force lines are unlike electrons: there is nothing that consists of lines of force - FaradayVsSmart: the explanatory force stems from negation. >Negation.
Hacking I 64
SmartVs: "Really" does not change the meaning, (of cream or of electrons) power lines are malleable - hence they exist. Even if the iron filings will be taken away (there were doubts about this before Faraday) - namely, the lines can be cut. >Meaning, >Predicates, >Properties.
