I 13
Thoughts/Millikan: this is about knowledge-what.
>Propositional knowledge.
Classical realism: thinking and knowledge are separated for classical realism, and intentionality is transparent.
>Realism/Millikan.
I 13
Intentionality/about/aboutness/MillikanVsTradition: Intentionality is not transparent: many processes that are "about" something are not aware of their users.
E.g. von Frisch knew what a bee dance is, the bees do not know. Bees react only appropriately to bee dances.
>Intentionality.
Thought: requires that the referent is identified.
Inference: involves acts of identification of what the thoughts are about. That is why they are representations.
I 244
Grasp/Millikan: what is it for a thinker to grasp what his thought is about?
I 245
Millikan: it is the ability to identify the referent of his thought with the referent of elements of other intentional icons.
