Kolejny odczyt seminarium ZJR odbędzie się:
Czwartek, 4 grudnia 2025, 17.00

wygłosi odczyt:
The act-type theory of propositions as a theory of empty names
Abstrakt:
I compare the recently popular act-type theory of propositions, as proposed by Hanks, to the more traditional neo-Russellian and neo-Fregean theories. I focus on the solution that each theory gives to the problem of empty names. I argue that the act-type theory is committed to claims that make it significantly less attractive than the other theories. More specifically, the additions that Hanks makes to the core ideas of the act-type theory in order to account for empty names make the theory overall less satisfying than a representative example of the neo-Fregean theory. I propose that one solution is to adopt a no-proposition theory of empty names.
