14392 | Fregeans say 'hobbits do not exist' is just 'being a hobbit' is not exemplified [Merricks] |
Full Idea: A Fregean about existence claims would say that 'that hobbits do not exist' is nothing other than the claim that 'being a hobbit' is not exemplified. | |
From: Trenton Merricks (Truth and Ontology [2007], 3.II) | |
A reaction: 'My passport has ceased to exist' seems to be a bit more dramatic than a relationship with a concept. |
