Christopher Peacocke on Map Example - Dictionary of Arguments
I 76 Map/Peacocke: in order to use a map, you have to be able to trace the trail of your own movements. ((s)> e.g. Two lost wanderers/J. Perry). ((s) e.g. GPS: intensional (tells you "who you are"). Map: (extensional) will not help you. It does not tell you who you are.) >Propositional knowledge, >Intensions, >Intensionality, >Extensions, >Extensionality, >Spatial localization. - - - ((s) Explanation/(s): E.g., Two lost hikers meet. By chance, they have the same hiking book. Then, with the help of this book alone, they will not find out their localization. Reason: in the printed book the hikers are not identified, e.g. as the one who came from the west and the one who came from the east. Solution: modern navigation system: registers the path and identifies by it the user who holds the device in his hand. Distinction: propositional/non-propositional knowledge)._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number. The corresponding books are indicated on the right hand side. ((s)…): Comment by the sender of the contribution.
