: : Try Dennett's 'The Origins of ytic Philosophy' chapter 7. : : I don't think Frege would have agreed that there is an intersubjective charector of the word I. : : Rather there is an indexical charector. Now, in an ideal language, a sense is fixed to one referent. Hence a sense always has one truth value (since referent is truth value). So indexical cases show that a sense (or thought for a sentence) cannot be a sense of eg 'I like ice cream' taken as a type of sentence, but only 'I like ice cream' taken as is meant in the particular context of ME eating that Ice cream. : : So long as sense (and thought) is meant in this occourent sense, Frege can easily handle the indexical sense of I. : : Frege couldn't handle any intersubjective sense of I as he thought that sense must be objective if we are to have comon language. By objective he seems to mean that, in principle, two people can have the same sense (hence the telescope, moon example) : : He was of course wrong, as if two people have the same content of thought, it doesn't matter whether theya re called the same thought or not - they can communicate. : : Does that sound right? : Hi, I found a cool and functional online auction web site second only to fee-bay (you know who I mean). : I saw your web site while searching Google and have found it a nice place to spend a little time. : When ya get a chance, please come over and say 'Hi' on our chat boards. : The address is <a href="http://www.bidway.com">Online Auction</a>. : I've been there almost for 4 years now. And, although it's not a living (for most of us), it's still a fun place to hang out and make a little extra something with friends. : Thanks for listening... hope to see you there.
