Speranza
The keywords should be identity and self-identity.
But as early as 1977, in Victoria, Canada, Grice was presenting material in his exegesis of Aristotle. Grice comes up with I and H.
Two dyadic predicates.
Some of Grice's formulae include
xIx
i.e. as Grice has it, identity is reflexive.
As opposed to "H"
Grice reads "I" as izzing and "H" as hazzing.

Izzing is closer to set theoretic inclusion than it is to identity. Both are reflexive, but identity is also symmetric which neither of izzing not set inclusion are.
ReplyDeleteHazzing fails to be reflexive because it is trans-categorial so its a "category mistake" or a type-error to assert that A hazz A.
