Saussure saw the signifier psychologically – Frege's senses are abstract objects that aren't instantiated in any human mind – we merely 'grasp' them, sort of like Platonic forms.

The signifier is also part of the sign as such, whereas Frege's senses seem to exist independently of any particular sign, and signs in separate languages, or even perhaps separate signs in the same language (synonyms) might be able to share a sense.

re: the abstractness of senses... consider his example in On Sense and Reference of the telescope with the moon. The image through the telescope is the sense, the retina/eye is the idea. Everyone has a different idea of a thing. But we can all get the same sense from a word if we approach it correctly, its accessible in a very important and special way for Frege, which really helps connect him to Locke and enlightenment thinkers

>Frege's senses seem to exist independently of any particular sign

This is really confusing to me, and I get that's how he thought about it because he does, as you point out, say that different signs can share the same sense. But I have no idea how that could be the case, since he describes sense as "the mode of presentation" of a sign, which I don't see as anything other than its literal physical shape (IE. =ab has a different sense from =aa because =ab includes a different term [and is thus also a different sign]). What would be an example of a two different signs that share a sense?

Like two signs can share a reference and have dissimilar senses, which I guess is largely the point of Sense and Reference, but I don't see how dissimilar signs, with the identical or different references, can share a sense, or what a sign refers to other than a sense.

Life expectancy in the past was only so low because of the amount of children who died. If you actually survived to be an adult and weren't a peasant doing backbreaking labor, you would likely live a long life.

I almost never finish any book I start
I compulsively buy books but barely touch any of them

Not that wannabe wizard for sure

/pol/ just wants to gas all the people who commit crimes because they love this planet and their own people so much
They have high empathy

Speaking for myself, "Things Fall Apart" really hit me hard as a kid. I had only the simplest understanding of what the world was like beyond small town wisconsin, or what the world was like a couple hundred years earlier.

I think the act of reading something which presents another persons point of view is inherently a test of empathy. Can you relate to the authors perspective, or will you reject it?

I'd like to think literature can create empathy, but I don't know if there anyway to prove it. Did the empathy exist before the reading, just waiting to be opened? Or did the reading birth empathy that did not exist prior to the reading.

Not there. They have practically nothing. Slsk, library, abebooks. Sometimes you can get lucky with libgen
