Although Whichcote's published writings do not discuss natural philosophy as such, his recognition of the demonstrative value of natural philosophy for the argument from design anticipates the use of natural philosophy in the apologetics of Cudworth and More.
No longer: Hundreds of thousands of consumers are now communicating with personal stylists (or data-driven human/artificial intelligence hybrids) via next-gen fashion platforms such as Trunk Club and Stitch Fix — two platforms with demonstrative value (Trunk Club was acquired more than a year ago for $450 million, and few experts would reject Stitch Fix's $300 million recent valuation).
The image features had demonstrative prognostic value, although there were differences in the specific set of features for each assessment (ducts, fields, and overall).
In actual utterances, intonation can be used to indicate an assertion or an each question ('Ben wanted to eat that?) conjoined with 'Ben wanted to eat that' yields an infelicity even if the demonstrative has the same value on both occasions though we may try to fix things up by demanding that the test be run using common intonation (at least in spoken uses of the test!).

Jeffrey King (2012) argues that the semantic value of a demonstrative in a context is the object such that (a) the speaker intends it to be the demonstrative's semantic value and (b) an attentive hearer would take it to be the speaker's intended semantic value.
According to Campbell, this pattern of use is justified by appeal to the semantic value of the demonstrative.
Furthermore, according to Campbell, the knowledge of the semantic value of the demonstrative that such conscious experience provides us with, justifies and causes the pattern of use we make of that demonstrative in our reasoning.
Burge, who is, as remarked above, a demonstrativist, represents the semantic value of a demonstrative (and so an argumental occurrence of a name) with a variable.
This confrontation with, this awareness of, the mind-independent object referred to is what provides one with the relevant form of knowledge of the semantic value of the demonstrative that allows experience to play its explanatory role.
What's required, argues Campbell, is a conception of experience as something less than conceptual representation of the object of experience, but which nonetheless has the resources to explain how experience of an object can provide one with a form of knowledge of the semantic value of a demonstrative that refers to it.
