摘要

某些关于性质和关系的现实主义者把它们等同于共相。此外,一些人认为,对于大范围的有意义谓词,这些谓词所在的句子对所表达的命题的语义贡献是谓词所表达的全称。我在这里讨论由谓词引起的本体论问题这些谓词最初是通过小说作品引入我们的以及普遍现实主义是否应该接受任何这样的谓词表达共相。在评估了Braun, D.(2015)的论点之后。“在想女巫的事。”《虚构的物体》,S.布洛克和A.埃弗雷特编辑,71-113页。牛津:牛津大学出版社),索耶(2015)。“虚构财产的重要性。”《虚构的物体》,S.布洛克和A.埃弗雷特编辑,2008 - 29页。牛津:牛津大学出版社)对于虚构的普遍反现实主义,我提出了一个小说,克里普克启发的论点来得出同样的结论。我最终捍卫的主张是,尽管这一论点为虚构的普遍反现实主义提供了最有力的证据,但它仍然是不合理的。我的结论是,没有什么能阻止我们接受一些虚构的谓词表达虚构的共相。

Fictional Universal Realism
Abstract Certain realists about properties and relations identify them with universals. Furthermore, some hold that for a wide range of meaningful predicates, the semantic contribution to the propositions expressed by the sentences in which those predicates figure is the universal expressed by the predicate. I here address ontological issues raised by predicates first introduced to us via works of fiction and whether the universal realist should accept that any such predicates express universals. After assessing arguments by Braun, D. (2015. “Wondering about Witches.” In Fictional Objects, edited by S. Brock, and , A. Everett, 71–113. Oxford: Oxford University Press) and Sawyer, S. (2015. “The Importance of Fictional Properties.” In Fictional Objects, edited by S. Brock, and A. Everett, 208–29. Oxford: Oxford University Press) for fictional universal anti-realism, I propose a novel, Kripke-inspired argument for the same conclusion. I ultimately defend the claim that while this argument presents the strongest case for fictional universal anti-realism, it is nonetheless unsound. I conclude that nothing stands in the way of accepting that some fictional predicates express fictional universals.
