Question

In Mind and World, John McDowell rejects a form of naturalism described by this adjective in (15[1])favor of (15[1])“naturalized Platonism.” In “On What There Is,” W.V.O. Quine asks whether a possible fat man in the doorway is the same person as a man with this quality. (15[1])A man who may possess this quality is at the center of the phalakros paradox, (15[1])a variant (15[1])of the sorites problem. (15[1]-5[2])In a 1950 (15[1])paper (15[1])defining meaning (15[1])as “directions for (15[1])use,” P.F. (*) Strawson claims that a sentence involving this physical trait has no truth value. (10[3]-5[1])A paper that considers the terms “Scott” and “the author of Waverley” (10[2]-5[2])claims (10[1])that a sentence about a person with this physical property (10[1])is false. For 10 points, name this trait of Socrates and Michel Foucault, which is attributed to the “present king of France” (10[2])in Bertrand (10[1])Russell’s “On Denoting.” (10[1]) ■END■
