چکیده
Some thoughts are externally singular: there is an object which the thought is about. Some thoughts which are not externally singular are internally singular: although there is no object the thought is about, it recruits resources of a kind appropriate to external singularity. An illustration: Jack wants a sloop (I am using ‘‘thought’’ broadly, so that wanting is a species of thinking). The desire is externally singular if there is a sloop (a ‘‘specific sloop’’) he wants. There are two ways in which the desire can fail to be externally singular (so we cannot describe the cases just in terms of Quine’s notional/relational distinction, for we need three pigeon-holes and not just two). The desire can be wholly non-specific: the desire is, as Quine (1956) famously put it, for relief from slooplessness. But the content of the desire can alternatively possess internal singularity. This is so if Jack has engaged in very specific imagining: ‘‘She’s called The Mary Jane; 42 ft, a nanteen sail . . . .’’ Of an existing sloop Jack might truly say: ‘‘That’s not the sloop I want; I want The Mary Jane; and in fact she should be ready in a couple of
