Attributes Quine Vs Attributes III 262
General Terms/Quine: are represented by predicate letters such as "F", "G", etc. (§ 12.22, where they were simply called "Termini"). Universality/Quine: is not ambiguity! Ex ambiguous: is the singular term "Miller"! It can refer to different people in different contexts. Similarly:
Singular Term: "the basement", "the President" ((s) >indefinite description).
General Term: "basement", "President".
Concrete Term: "Cerberus", "Unicorn"
Abstract Term: "7", "3 + 4", "piety" terms for numbers, classes, attributes.
Concrete General Term: "man", "red house", "house".
Abstract General Term/Quine: "prime", "zoological genus", "virtue", because every virtue and every number and every species is an abstract object. ((s) then "piety" is an abstract singular term).
Attribute/Quine: I do not care much for them as entities that are supposed to be different from classes.
III 263
Attributes: can be considered different, even if they apply to the same things. E.g. "having a heart", "having kindneys". Classes/QuineVsAttributes: classes are easier to identify and to distinguish.
If we must distinguish, then:
Attribute/Quine: e.g. "human nature": Name of an attribute.
Class Name/Name of a Class/Quine: "humanity".
