ABSTRACT

Frege famously claimed that variations in the sense of a proper name can sometimes be ‘tolerated’. In this paper, we offer a novel explanation of this puzzling claim. Frege, we argue, follows Trendelenburg in holding that we think in language—sometimes individually and sometimes together. Variations in sense can be tolerated in just those cases where we are using language to coordinate our actions but are not engaged in thinking together about an issue.

容忍感觉变异

摘要

弗雷格著名地声称，有时可以“容忍”专有名称意义上的变化。在本文中，我们对这一令人费解的说法提供了一种新颖的解释。我们认为，弗雷格追随特伦德伦堡，认为我们用语言思考——有时单独思考，有时一起思考。只有在我们使用语言来协调我们的行动但没有参与一起思考一个问题的情况下，才可以容忍意义的变化。
