The Existential Import of Categorical Predication examines whether what we assert in categorical propositions requires that their terms name actual existences. It clarifies how logic treats existence, reality, and the meanings of subject and predicate across different forms of judgment.
This scholarly work traces a long debate from ancient to modern times and presents a precise, independent treatment of the topic. Readers will see how names, existence, and the structure of judgments interrelate, and how these ideas influence both formal and symbolic logic. The book uses historical and logical analysis to illuminate how universal and particular propositions relate to existence, without assuming any one view about reality.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into an enduring debate in the philosophy of language and logic, known as the existential import of categorical predication. The author traces the history of this topic, from its roots in ancient Greek philosophy to its contemporary iterations. The author argues that the existential import of categorical predication is not a matter of either existence or non-existence but, rather, a matter of the relationship between thought and reality. The author explores the implications of this for our understanding of the relationship between language, thought, and the world, ultimately concluding that the existential import of categorical predication is a key to understanding the nature of reality itself.
