Words are used by people in particular fewer significant unique topics than one might imagine. For example, the concept of sociohistorical situations, and they mean whatever those people take them to mean. unconscious mental acts may be treated as a unique problem of psychology or The pragmatist accepts the need for the robust explications of the semanticists, but psychoanalytic theory, or as a species of the more general problem of unobservable insists that they must be bound by spatiotemporal and cultural constraints. For entities. The Heisenberg indeterminacy relation may be regarded as a unique problem of example, instead of talking about the meaning of probability, pragmatists would quantum theory or as a particular kind of measurement problem, and so on.
ization of the relevant concepts, one that does not quietly presuppose some notion of linguistic meaning. (We shall see in chapter 10 that a sophisticated version of the Proposition Theory can do this.) The Proposition view is the leading entity theory of meaning. Like any theory of meaning it aims at explaining the meaning facts. It attempts to do that by positing a certain range of entities; that is how we often explain things, especially in science. We posit subatomic particles, unobservable entities of a certain range and kind, to explain the behavior of observable chemical substances and the ratios in which they combine. A first problem for the theory as stated so far is created by a sort of mean- ing fact that I have not mentioned up till now. Some philosophers consider this sort even more important than all the ones listed above: We understand a sentence S, in an immediate way, whereas we do not understand a gibberish string of words
