Danto I 259
World/Strawson/Danto: two main components: people and things. (particular).
>Person/Strawson, >Particulars/Strawson, >Terminology/Strawson.
To this,
M-predicates correspond: E.g. "weighs 100 kg".
P-predicates: "thinks of fame".
Nothing is describable with P-predicates alone. - That would be different if there were really disembodied ghosts. - People are described by both predicate types.
---
Strawson I 263
Behaviorism: attempts to blur the distinction between P- and M-predicates.
>Predicates/Strawson.
Strawson I 35
World/Strawson: seems to be constructed of particulars and events. - Are also other images possible? - When someone mentions something outside of space and time, we believe that it does not exist.
---
Strawson II 256
World/StrawsonVsWittgenstein: Thesis: Only things and events are part of the world.
StrawsonVsAustin: otherwise there is a temptation to talk about situation as about things.
>Situations.
