And here we say, “But surely designing a new shape
isn't in itself changing one's taste, – – and
saying a word isn't meaning it, – – and saying that I
believe isn't believing; there must be feelings, mental acts,
going along with these lines and these words.” ‒ ‒
And the reason we give for saying this is
104.
that a man certainly could
design a new shape without having changed his taste, say that he believes
something without believing it, etc.
And this obviously is true.
But it doesn't follow that what distinguishes a case of
having changed one's taste from a case of not having done so
isn't under certain circumstances just designing what one
hasn't designed before.
Nor does it follow that in cases in which designing a new shape is not
the criterion for a change of taste, the criterion must be a change in
some particular region of our mind.
