But suppose someone
says || said, || :
“I always do the same thing when I direct my attention to
the || a shape: I
follow the
contour || outline with my
24
¤ eyes
and feel || with the
feeling
… || …”. And suppose
this person gives to someone
else the ostensive
definition || explanation,
“
That || This
is
called a
‘circle’”,
by pointing
¤
with
all these experiences, to a circular object || to a circular object
& having all these
experiences: –
can't || . Can't the
other
person still interpret this explanation
differently,
even
though || although he sees that the person giving
the explanation || it follows
the shape with his eyes
and || , even
though || if he feels what the
person giving the explanation feels? That
is || is to say, this
“interp
retation”
can
also || may consist in the
way in which
he makes use of || uses || use he now makes
of the word,
for
instance || e.g.
what he
points to when he is || in his pointing to such & such an
object when given the
command
, || :
“Point to a circle”. – For
neither the expression, “meaning the explanation in such and
such a way”, nor the expression, “interpreting
the explanation in such and such a way”, indicates a
definite || particular process
which
accompanies || accompanying the giving and
hearing || receiving of the
explanation.
