Problema existenței regilor portocalii

Andreea Popescu explores the logic of fictional objects, inspired by Mircea Dumitru’s work on free logic. The text contrasts Bertrand Russell’s theory of definite descriptions, which links quantification to ontological commitment, with E.E. Constance Jones’s broader view. Jones argues that denotation does not imply physical existence, allowing meaningful discourse about imaginary entities. By treating propositions as identities of denotation within diverse intensions, the text advocates for a logic "free" from existential constraints.THIS ABSTRACT IS GENERATED WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
