Paul Ricoeur, meanwhile, takes up of Frege the distinction between sense and reference. "The sense is what the proposition says; the reference, what is being said about what the sense" [1]. The words that I said have a sense, and also that sense has a reference or relation to a foreign state of affairs. Based on Wittgenstein, Ricoeur provides the same stoic duality between bodies and events. Wittgenstein defines the world as a plan of facts, not things, then defines the fact as the existence of states of affairs. The body-event duality in the stoicism is the same thing-fact duality in Wittgenstein.[1] RICOEUR, Paul.
