Book Synopsis Abstract Objects and the Semantics of Natural Language by : Friederike Moltmann

Book excerpt: 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.
