Talk:David Kaplan (philosopher)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] jargon
this is all jargon.
--I can understand why it would seem that way, but the fact is that Kaplan is a very technical philosopher who (along with most other philosophers of language) makes heavy use of a lot of technical terminology, in addition to lots of formal logic. I didn't include much of the formal logic, as many of the more philosophical ideas can be explained without it (as Kaplan himself does in Demonstratives and Dthat). But the point is that the jargon here was created for very specific purposes which aren't easily served by ordinary language. This is part of why most people would place Kaplan into the ideal language tradition. Danielwharris 08:11, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
