    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Non-linguistic arts do (at least sometimes) express meanings and thoughts.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Interpretation theory must cover all cases in which meanings and thoughts are expressed.

    Reasons Against

    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Linguistic meaning is constituted by rule-governed conventional codes that non-linguistic arts structurally lack.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Interpretation theory, as developed from Schleiermacher through Gadamer, presupposes a grammatical dimension requiring shared linguistic conventions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Without this grammatical dimension, what non-linguistic arts express is better characterized as arousal or presentation, not propositional meaning requiring hermeneutic interpretation.

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Goodman's Languages of Art demonstrates that non-linguistic symbol systems are replete and lack the syntactic disjointeness of genuine languages.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A theory whose core methods depend on parsing discrete, repeatable symbolic units cannot coherently extend to dense, replete symbol systems without losing its explanatory identity.

    Where does this leave Schleiermacher in relation to the several issues bearing on his hermeneutics and his philosophy of language that, I suggested, encouraged him to undertake this investigation of non-linguistic art in the first place? Concerning the primary question, whether the non-linguistic arts express meanings and thoughts and if so how, he has now realized that they do indeed (at least sometimes) express meanings and thoughts, but he remains torn on exactly how they do so.
