Jerry Fodor on Stereotypes - Dictionary of Arguments

IV 186
Stereotype/Fodor/Lepore: meanings are no stereotypes: e.g. a stereotypical brown cow can be dangerous without the stereotype brown or the stereotype cow being dangerous. One would in turn absurdly accept analyticity of all inferences in order to guarantee that. >Analyticity
.
Analyticity/analytical/Fodor/Lepore: if meanings are stereotypes, yet none of the individual features is defining, e.g. the stereotypical brown cow can be dangerous, even though the stereotype dangerous is not part of the stereotype brown or the stereotype cow. Therefore, the distinction analytic/synthetic fails. N.B.: even if the distinction analytic/synthetic is refused it shows that meanings are never stereotypes! >Meaning, >Beliefs, >Representations, >Objects of thougt.
