It conflicts with the view (held by Aristotle) that to predicate a property of an object is to ascribe the property to the object (i.e., to judge\/assert that the object has the property). The Frege Point suggests that the propositions generated via predication are intrinsically forceless: force is added from outside, as it were, when the act of judging or asserting occurs. There is another option, however, which Geach mentions and associates with Spinoza: the cancellation account. According to that account, which has become popular in recent times, a thought is assertoric in character unless its force is cancelled and it loses this character, e.g. by occurring only as an element in a more complicated thought. Different ways of understanding the cancellation account will be presented, and its relations to the Aristotelian view discussed.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Judgment First According to Peter Geach, \u2018a proposition may occur in discourse now asserted, now unasserted\u2019.
