Existence Hedges and Neutral Free Logic Yeakel, Daniel 2016 Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society , Vol. 116 , Issue 3 , S. 379 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 0066-7374 | 1467-9264 Abstract

I argue that neutral free logic and existence hedging are incompatible. Primarily, I respond to proposals by James Pryor intended to reconcile the two. Consideration of those proposals will reveal that on any neutral free logic either some existence hedges will entail some undesired existence claims, or they will not entail some desired existence claims.
