Dear all,
Sorry about the lateness of this homework. The task was “to add examples to E89
Propositional Object about fictitious persons and places.” I am not 100% sure
about how to phrase such examples but I include two below as starting points
for discussion.
Current examples:
• Maxwell’s Equations
• The ideational contents of Aristotle’s book entitled ‘Metaphysics’ as
rendered in the Greek texts translated in … Oxford edition…
• The underlying prototype of any “no-smoking” sign (E36)
• The common ideas of the plots of the movie "The Seven Samurai" by
Akira Kurosawa and the movie “The Magnificent Seven” by John Sturges
• The image content of the photo of the Allied Leaders at Yalta 1945
(E38)
Additional examples:
• Little Red Riding Hood as a fictitious person depicted in a number
for media expressions including oral fairy tales, the Grimm brothers’
‚Rotkäppchen’, and the film ‘Hoodwinked!’
• Havnor as the place is described in the ‘Earthsea’ book series by
Ursula K. Le Guin, in maps made by her and others, in films based on the books,
and in numerous fan fiction works.
Have a nice meeting, I will join you on Friday,
Øyvind
