RE: [jboske] Paper to consider on intensionals?



So, And in http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jboske/message/1732 says that Unique does work as an intensional:

I want A Doctor (A Doctor is the kind of thing I want)
I draw A Doctor (A Doctor is the kind of thing I draw)

And there is a Kind of 6-letter gismu, which you can talk about wanting, needing, describing, though it may end up having no denotation.

I could start pondering whether that works, but http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jboske/message/1736 (the Big Rethink) says no, intensional isn't a Unique, because you can intensionally want masses as well, and the Unique, whatever it is, is an individual. Right?

So we are indeed back to square one. You know, you'd get your cross-cutting with ka'ai too: leka'ai, leika'ai, le'ika'ai, lo malkampu be leika'ai... [Jordan, your football team takes it up the khyber]...
