The motivation Bill offers seems plausible to me,
and quite Neo-Fregean in spirit (which would suit Peacocke). It is
well-known that the
psychological issues concerning Fregean senses come back to haunt the
old Fregean in the form of what grasping an abstract third-realm
sense
could amount to. However unpsychological Fregean senses are,
it seems inevitable that grasping them (as well as employing them in thought)
would be a psychological relation. Peacocke may be forestalling
the problem by offering a possession-based individuation of concepts, while
still keeping concepts abstract.
I think Bill is right to raise the question about
hyperdyperintensionality - it is something I was wondering about when reading
Peacocke. I don't get the impression he wants to slice concepts as
finely as to make FORTNIGHT a different concept from TWO WEEKS, yet by
his criterion they should come out different. (The worry was formulated
ages ago by Mates, I believe, and has led to all kinds of maneuvers on
the part of otherwise good Fregeans.) I hope we'll get to talk about
this at some point. (Fodor's theory is in part shaped to deal with
this problem.)
