Criteria: Criteria do not follow from a definition but must be developed. The criteria for the application of a concept to an object are more concerned with language practice in a community. E.g. the definition of truth does not provide a criterion for which sentences are true.

Hilary Putnam on Criteria - Dictionary of Arguments

Cavell I 275
Criteria/Wittgenstein/Cavell: Wittgenstein's criteria do not help to distinguish between genuine and feigned pain (only for signs of pain).
>Pain
.
Putnam: but they allow me to realize that what I seem to see is a case of pain.
They do not say: the pain is real, but they tell me that I see pain.
Criteria/behaviorism/Wittgenstein/Cavell/Putnam: if I answer the skeptic, I know that the criteria are fulfilled, because the criteria are determined by the behavior. Then my (Putnam's) interpretation of Wittgenstein's approaches is so much a behaviorist one that I would be forced to call Wittgenstein a behaviourist.
>Pain/Wittgenstein.
Cavell: we cannot describe the criteria for pain without using the concept of pain.
Putnam: for Cavell, who does not see the function of criteria in granting the permission; the path to a behaviorist Wittgenstein does not open up at all in saying "I know".
