  • Paolo Leonardi Università di Bologna
Parole chiave: Existence, Reference, Indeterminacy, Concepts, Mary’s room

Abstract

Here, I suggest that words get their meaning first from what exists, and consider the impact the assumption has on indeterminacy theses à la Quine,innateness views of concepts, and finally Jackson’s famous Mary’s room argument.
