Denoting and Disquoting
Authors:Michael Rieppel
Institution:Syracuse University
Abstract:Fregeans hold that predicates denote things, albeit things different in kind from what singular terms denote. This leads to a familiar problem: it seems impossible to say what any given predicate denotes. One strategy for avoiding this problem reduces the Fregean position to form of nominalism. I develop an alternative strategy that lets the Fregean hold on to the view that predicate denote things by reconceiving the nature of singular denotation and of Fregean objects.
Keywords:denotation  concept horse paradox  singular terms  predication
