Existence and Number
نویسنده
چکیده
The Frege-Russell view is that existence is a second-order property rather than a property of individuals. One of the most compelling arguments for this view is based on the premise that there is an especially close connection between existence and number. The most promising version of this argument is by C.J.F. Williams (1981, 1992). In what follows, I argue that this argument fails. I then defend an account according to which both predications of number and existence attribute properties to individuals.

ماه و انسان کامل در اندیشۀ ابنعربی
Number 28 is a code related to 28-day cycle of moon which is highly reflected in Ibn ‘Arabi’s viewpoint. Most aspects of Ibn ‘Arabi’s thought are affected by this code. In his works, Ibn ‘Arabi has attempted to decode this number and express its effect on celestial and divine aspects of human. This is mostly revealed in Fusous al-Hikam (=Seals of Wisdom) which was presented in 28 chapter on the...
متن کاملExistence of at least one nontrivial solution for a class of problems involving both p(x)-Laplacian and p(x)-Biharmonic
We investigate the existence of a weak nontrivial solution for the following problem. Our analysis is generally bathed on discussions of variational based on the Mountain Pass theorem and some recent theories one the generalized Lebesgue-Sobolev space. This paper guarantees the existence of at least one weak nontrivial solution for our problem. More precisely, by applying Ambrosetti and Rabinow...
متن کاملExistence and uniqueness of the solution of fuzzy-valued integral equations of mixed type
In this paper, existence theorems for the fuzzy Volterra-Fredholm integral equations of mixed type (FVFIEMT) involving fuzzy number valued mappings have been investigated. Then, by using Banach's contraction principle, sufficient conditions for the existence of a unique solution of FVFIEMT are given. Finally, illustrative examples are presented to validate the obtained results.
متن کاملThe Existence Theorem for Contractive Mappings on $wt$-distance in $b$-metric Spaces Endowed with a Graph and its Application
In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of fixed points for mappings with respect to a $wt$-distance in $b$-metric spaces endowed with a graph. Our results are significant, since we replace the condition of continuity of mapping with the condition of orbitally $G$-continuity of mapping and we consider $b$-metric spaces with graph instead of $b$-metric spaces, under which can be gen...
متن کاملRotation number and its properties for iterated function and non-autonomous systems
The main purpose of this paper is to introduce the rotation number for non-autonomous and iterated function systems. First, we define iterated function systems and the lift of these types of systems on the unit circle. In the following, we define the rotation number and investigate the conditions of existence and uniqueness of this number for our systems. Then, the notions rotational entropy an...
متن کاملTarski Number and Configuration Equations
The concept of configuration of groups which is defined in terms of finite partitions and finite strings of elements of the group is presented by Rosenblatt and Willis. To each set of configurations, a finite system of equations known as configuration equations, is associated. Rosenblatt and Willis proved that a discrete group G is amenable if and only if every possible instance of its configur...
