Description

Explore the complex boundaries of logic and language with Denying Existence: The Logic, Epistemology and Pragmatics of Negative Existentials and Fictional Discourse. Part of the Synthese Library (volume 261), this work by Springer addresses the deep philosophical questions surrounding empty singular terms. Whether discussing Pegasus, Batman, or the impossible staircase in an Escher painting, this book examines the logical status of entities that do not exist in the physical world. It provides a clear investigation into sentences that deny the existence of singled-out fictional entities. This text is a valuable resource for students of metaphysics and the philosophy of language. It also serves as a significant study for historians of philosophy interested in the Russell-Meinong debate. Literary theorists with an interest in logic will find the analysis of fictional discourse particularly useful. This book offers a way to understand how we talk about things that are not there, using language that remains as non-technical as possible for the reader.
