- Title
The Problem of Nonexistence: Truthmaking or Semantics? Critical Notice of The Objects of Thought, by Tim Crane.
- Authors
Walters, Lee
- Abstract
A literary criticism of the book "The Objects of Thought" by Tim Crane is presented. Crane's ideas on nonexistent are examined as well as two issues related to nonexistence. It argues that negative free logic can be salvaged if it is deemed as a class of logical predicates as opposed to Crane's belief that it should be rejected if we think it claims about grammatical subject-predicate sentences. Also explored is Crane's view on quantification.
