摘要

本文一方面对存在量词和用于表达它的符号“∃”进行了区分，另一方面对存在和“存在”进行了区分。它认为，形而上学中一些流行的论点，包括反对模糊存在的论点和反对通货紧缩的形而上学(认为本体论的争论缺乏实质)的论点，都犯了混淆这一区别的错误。本文为形而上学关于存在的辩论提供了一些启示，并突出了逻辑空间中一些迄今为止被忽视而又吸引人的位置。

Existence and the existential quantifier

This paper draws a distinction between the existential quantifier and the symbol ‘∃’ used to express it, on the one hand, and existence and ‘exists’, on the other. It argues that some popular arguments in metaphysics, including arguments against vague existence and arguments against deflationary metaontology (which views ontological disputes as lacking substance), are guilty of fudging this distinction. The paper draws some lessons for metaphysical debate about existence and highlights some heretofore ignored and attractive positions in logical space.
