Linguisticism/Place: Armstrong and Martin insinuate me to be too extreme.
Solution: to accept that the objects of desire and those which are joined by counterfactual conditionals, do not exist and may never exist.
Problem: that the quantification is not allowed over non-existent objects. >Objects of thought, >Intensional objects, >Objects of belief.
An intensional quantifier logic is not yet developed. ((s) Cf. >Intensional Logic/Hintikka).
