Denying Existence: The Logic, Epistemology and Pragmatics of Negative Existentials and Fictional Discourse by A. Chakrabarti (Paperback, 2010)

About this product

About this product

Product Information

This book tries to explore, in language as non-technical as possible, the deepest philosophical problems regarding the logical status of empty (singular) terms such as 'Pegasus', 'Batman', 'The impossible staircase departs in Escher's painting 'Ascending-Descending'+ etc., and regarding sentences which deny the existence of singled-out fictional entities. It will be fascinating for literary theorists with a flair for logic, to students of metaphysics and philosophy of language, and for historians of philosophy interested in the fate of the Russell-Meinong debate. For teachers of these aspects of analytic philosophy this will provide a textbook which goes beyond the Western tradition (without plunging into any mystical Eastern 'Emptiness', which is what some previous comparative philosophers did!).
