ABSTRACT
My aim in this paper is a very modest one. I want to discuss the doctrine that existence is not a predicate, in connection with two particular classes of utterances. The discussion of both types of case will seem at first to harmonize well enough with this doctrine. But at the end I shall try, certainly not to confute the doctrine, but to unsettle it just a little, to show that it must be taken in a slightly less simple way than we might be inclined to suppose.
