| Abstract: | Abstract: Do folk objects exist? A selective eliminativism says that some do and some don’t. One eye‐catching version of this says that tennis players exist, although tennis balls and tennis rackets do not. In our paper, we focus critical attention upon a defense of such a view presented by Trenton Merricks in his book, Objects and Persons. We will show that the argument advanced by Merricks shows either too much or too little. |
