Sprachlogik: A Fallacy in Hofweber's Arguments in Ontology
http://sprachlogik.blogspot.com/2013/08/a-fallacy-in-hofwebers-arguments-in.html
A philosophy blog with a focus on logic and language. Articles at a glance. Monday, 19 August 2013. A Fallacy in Hofweber's Arguments in Ontology. This is a draft of a paper. Thomas Hofweber has for several years been developing a distinctive approach to ontological and metaontological questions. Next, Hofweber argues that numerals, number words like 'four', and terms like 'the number 2' are not referring terms. I.e., that they are not in the business of referring to things. They sometime...Then, on the ...
