Empty Representations

Reference and Non-Existence

Herausgeber: Garcia-Carpintero, Manuel; Marti, Genoveva

Beschreibung

The contents of linguistic and mental representations may seem to be individuated by what they are about. But a problem arises with regard to representation of the non-existent - words and thoughts that are about things that don't exist. Fourteen new essays get to grips with this much-debated problem.
