M. Dummett on Thinking - Dictionary of Arguments
I 93 ff DummettVsFrege: his theory of perception contradicts his thesis that every human can only grasp those thoughts which he understands as the sense of sentences. There are two interpretations. I 105 Thoughts/DummettVsFrege: not necessarily linguistic: Proto-thoughts (also animals) (associated with activity). - Proto-thoughts instead of Husserl's noema. I 137 f Thinking: Strongest interpretation: we can only think in language - Weakest interpretation: none of us can have a thought that we cannot express. Cf. >Psychological theories on language and thought, >Animal language. I 141 DummettVsQuine, VsDavidson: not >idiolect, but common language prevails. - - - III (e) 209 Language/thinking/Wittgenstein/Dummett: the role of language as a vehicle of thought is subordinate to its role as a tool of communication._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
