Abstract

The ideas of singular term and of general term in predicative position play a central part in Quine’s theory of canonical notation. I examine two attempts to explain these ideas, and I argue that they rest upon certain other notions whose role as foundations is not clearly acknowledged in Quine’s explanations.
