Week Four Cont

1. What is the lingustic turn?
2. How much of the philosophy you have encountered so far (not just in my course but in others too) seems to be influenced by the lingustic turn?
3. Why does Frege want to devlop a logically perfect language?
4.In what ways is Frege's language more expressive than natural language, and in what ways is it less?
5. How should we analyze statements containing the identity symbol?
6. Are complete expressions which designate objects the only things which can meaningfully appear either side of an identity symbol?

NB Weiner uses 'Sense and Meaning' to talk about the paper which is also commonly called 'Sense and Reference'
