E. Tugendhat on Events - Dictionary of Arguments
I 455 Event/Tugendhat: Events are no states. - Identification of time points by events. - Then the being-red of a leaf is an event. >States, >Individuation, >Identification. I 456 Then every sentence is (by nominalization of the predicate) a sentence about an event. Question: how can we distinguish these from spatiotemporal objects? >Extensions, >Intensions. I 547 Change: the transition from one state to another - change = time sortal: E.g. Earth’s rotation, e.g. flight, e.g. silence. >Sortals, cf. >Universals. Divisibility: predicates do not include the principles of divisibility and limit. - But change contains as a temporal totality principles for distinguishing temporal parts - changes are countable, temporal objects. >Change, >Motion._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
