Frege on Existence and Non‐existence
Theoria, 2015AbstractDespite its importance for early analytic philosophy, Gottlob Frege's account of existence statements, according to which they classify concepts, has been thought to succumb to a number of well‐worn criticisms.

They should be addressing one of the following questions, or the word ontological is being misused: 1. Does X exist? 2. Under what conditions can X exist? 3.

The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 1954
