| dc.description.abstract | In this thesis I deal with a series of problems which involve the notion of negation. In Chapter 2 I discuss the issues raised by the question whether we should admit negative facts into our ontology or not. In Chapter 3 I discuss the so-called paradox of non-being and the problem of giving an account of both singular and general negative existentials (i.e. negative existentials containing singular and general subjects respectively) that avoids this paradox. In Chapter 4 I deal with three related logical and linguistic problems involving negation. Chapter 1 contains a discussion of some treatments of negation in the history of philosophy. The choice as to which philosophers to include in this chapter was determined by the topics discussed in later chapters. That is to say, I have chosen to discuss the views of philosophers who were concerned in one way or another with the problems discussed in a more methodical manner in Chapters 2 to 4.
