Reference to universals and plural reference to particulars -- Reference to tropes and the ontology of tropes -- The semantics of special quantifiers in predicate position -- Propositions and attitudinal objects -- Intensional transitive verbs and their 'objects' -- Reifying terms

Friederike Moltmann presents an original approach to philosophical issues to do with abstract objects. She focuses on natural language, and finds that reference to abstract objects such as properties, numbers, and propositions is much more restricted than is generally thought, and she offers a substantially new ontological picture
