Wilfrid Sellars on Terminology - Dictionary of Arguments
Field II 162 non-literal meaning/point quotation marks/Sellars/Field: if Sellars thus attributes meanings and settings, then this is not a linguistic point of view. Field: per linguistic point of view: meaning-characteristic of inferences in the language - and a role in their own psychology. - - - Frank I 388 Quotes / Sellars: Point-quotes: indicate the role of tokens of this type in the behavioral economics of the speaker. - E.g. red denotes the same role as rouge. - Castaneda: not realistic in terms of translations - predicate in Point-quotes: renames the attribute. Hector-Neri Castaneda (1987b): Self-Consciousness, Demonstrative Reference, and the Self-Ascription View of Believing, in: James E. Tomberlin (ed) (1987a): Critical Review of Myles Brand's "Intending and Acting", in: Nous 21 (1987), 45-55 James E. Tomberlin (ed.) (1986): Hector-Neri.Castaneda, (Profiles: An International Series on Contemporary Philosophers and Logicians, Vol. 6), Dordrecht 1986 - - - Sellars I XLIII Theory/language: the language of the scientific world view must preserve the basic structures of the everyday world view. For example, colors are homogeneous properties. (But not according to the scientific image). So Sellars later creates the concept of Sensa, which only occurs in sentient organisms. Where the ordinary human perceives something blue, on the side of science occurs the sensum. Sensa themselves are not colored, just as the states of feeling are. Colored alone are the objects of the everyday world. Also not the physical objects. Otherwise one would have to isolate a colored surface and ask for its thickness, which leads to contradictions._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
