R. Chisholm on Demonstratives - Dictionary of Arguments
I 75 This/Husserl: initially includes the listener in the area of the speaker. This/Chisholm: can be explained without referring to "I". I 76 Chisholm "I": defined without demonstratives, only by direct attribution (self-attribution) - "I" lacks the "speaker meaning": "I" usually has no meaning for oneself. >I, Ego, >Self, >Index words, >Speaker meaning. I 78 Analogy: "You" ist the only term without listener meaning (recipient meaning). I 76 Demonstrative/This/I/Kaplan: "I" only directly referential demonstrative, regardless of the opportunity. >David Kaplan. I 77 Here/demonstrative/space/Chisholm: does not include an identification of the location - "It's cold here" with misconception about where one actually is, is possible - no opinion as to where one is - Location/Chisholm: things like planets, cities etc.: parts of properties and space - no absolute theory of space. >Absoluteness, >Space. I 79 Now/Demonstrative/Chisholm: does not single out a time (not assumed by Russell, either) - the now maintains the connection to the present, the present loses it - E.g. three days ago he said that it was going to rain now._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
