In one work, this man use
In one work, this man uses tailor swatches to explain his idea of "exemplification," in which objects both represents a predicate and also possess it. That same work claims that paintings are "syntactically unlimited and semantically dense" because of the multiplicity of meaning in both the marks on the paper and what they could possibly refer to. This philosopher renounced the concept of abstract entities with Quine in "Steps Toward a Constructive Nominalism" and formulated a "calculus of simplicity" in his essay "On the Theory of Systems," the first chapter of his The Structure of Appearance. Another of his works opens an essay on "The Problem of Counterfactual Conditionals," and develops the theory of projection. In that work, he argued that the choice of predicate bases could not be explained by Hume's method of basing induction in repetition, and that coming up with rules equivalent to laws of deductive logic for induction was the "new riddle of induction." For 10 points, name this author of Language of Art and Fact, Fiction and Forecast who formulated the grue-bleen paradox.
