Examine the proposition || sentence || statement: “There is something there”, referring to the visual sensation I am now having.
     Aren't we inclined to think that this is a statement making sense & being true? And on the other hand, isn't it a pseudo statement?
     But what (what entity) do you mean (refer to), when you say that sentence? – Aren't we here up against the old difficulty that it seems to us that meaning something was a special state or activity of mind? For it is
true that saying these words I am in a special state of mind, I stare at something, – but this just doesn't constitute meaning.
