I 453
Sortal/Aristotle/Tugendhat: E.g. "chair" distinguished through function -> "bottom-up": we ask how singular term must function - sortal: allows to decide what belongs to it and what does not - no temporal, only spatial limits - (>continuant).
Life phases of an object are not regarded as parts.
>Parts, >Part-of-relation, >Temporal identity.
I 457f
Sortal/Tugendhat: allows new type of temporal-spatial identification - we should not presuppose perceptual object - then identification by distinguishing space-time locations.
>Specification.
I 460
Sortal: Not just imagination.
Sortal predicates: presuppose a specific configuration of spatial or temporal extended - e.g. "the same cat".
Conversely: sortal predicates are only explainable through space locations together with equal signs.
>Equal sign.
