Background--Searle building blocks

This construction of Searle's terms was helpful for me so I thought I'd share it.

Epistemic--expression of fact which is cognitive (individual perception) (8).
Objective-- observable, judgment is agreed upon by group (epistemically objective)
Ontogolical--involves judgment about objectively perceived things (8).
Subjectiveàobservable with features that mean something to the observers (10).
Intrinsic features--exist independent of user’s attitudes towards them (brute fact, objective, stone)
NonAgentive--naturally occurring function (heart pumping blood)
Observer-related featuresàexist with an “intentionality of agents (subjective because
object has a “relationship” with observer, paperweight).
Ontologically Subjective=Observer relative
Agentive--Observer relativeàintentionality to function (wood is chair), exist through collective intentionality (38)
Status Function--gained through agentive function
Collective Intentionality--"to engage in cooperative behavior” (23). Cannot be reduced.
‘I consciousness’ --derived from ‘we consciousness’
‘We consciousness’--exists internally (26)
Social fact--exists through collective intentionality
Regulative
Constitutive
Institutional facts--object’s agentive function is institutionally imposed.
Brute facts--“There are no institutional facts without brute facts” (58).
Ontologically subjective
Epistemically Objective (63).
Requires language (75).
Language dependent
Language independent--biological cognitions (62)
