Is predication an act or an operation?
Original language description
This paper contrasts a logical or objectivist conception of predication with a pragmatic or subjectivist conception. The former conception identifies predication with an objective operation that applies a property to an individual. This conception is suitable as an account of how to provide propositional unity. The latter conception identifies predication with an act that a speaker or thinker carries out when asserting or thinking that an object has a property. According to contemporary act-theoretic theories, this conception accounts for propositional unity. I argue that the two conceptions of predication are complementary rather than mutually exclusive, but also that the logical conception enjoys conceptual priority.
