Gegen eine redensart

"It is commonly said that what matters is not the name of the sign but the thing itself. On the contrary" --- precisely because the sign does not depend on the thing, it accomplishes something.

Abgrenzung zum symbol

In the symbol, the image still contributes something; in the sign, it no longer does.

Was es voraussetzt

Validity for others. Erdmann's transcript states this: "Being-there for one another [...] for other intelligence." Winfield derives the same point from the sign's position within the system.
