Reflection On "Existence’s Paradox"

Name theory is one of the core problems of modern logic, logic philosophy and philosophy of language. Among it,"empty name" and the "existence’s paradox" get lots of attention of philosophers.""empty name" causes a series of problems,"existence’s paradox" is seen as the most typical representative. This problem has a typical example, similar to the "Hamlet does not exist", such a negative statement, Suppose this sentence is true, we may also get a conclusion:the sentence is false. How to explain this paradox situation, how to deal with it? whether "empty name" can bear the sentence’ subject; Conclude that something does not exist, at the same time, whether predetermined something is there. According to these doubts, the correlative theory of "existence’s paradox" has been in historical research, and comparison. Full text mainly around four classical solutions unfold and sketch out the solution of the main breakthrough, Many philosophers, logician, linguists have tried different ways. The author analyzes the classical solutions of "existence’s paradox", trys to find the feasible way to deal with it and try to put forward some thought and ideas. The author also think the solution can’t rely on one dimension, the best solution should be a theory of system engineering, it needs to manage clear name connotation, refers to "exist" and predicate feature, and requires a combination of semantic, pragmatic dimensions to consider.The whole thesis can be divided into five parts:In the introduction, the author expounds the significance of this research; on this basis, introduces the main work and innovation.The first chapter mainly introduces the "existence’s paradox" and the related knowledge, including what is "empty name":empty name’s definition, empty name’s classification, And the relationship between the name and the empty name; what is "existence’s paradox", the performance of the "existence’s paradox" and its historical origin. To lay the theoretical premise and knowledge for the inquiry "existence’s paradox"The second chapter introduces the classical solutions. Based on the each different focus, solutions has been classified into four categories; scholars and the related theories are introduced in detail, through the comparison with analytical solutions, tries to find the feasible solution.The third chapter summarizes the classical solutions on the basis of the results, and to put forward some thought and ideas on "existence’s paradox".Conclusion is further reflection about the "existence’s paradox". As the most typical "empty name" problem, we research on it is quite necessary and essential. The author puts forward the division five world dimension theory, but the theory needs a lot of premise condition, which increased its burden. And by this scheme may also cause some problems in philosophy of logic, which needs to be further studied.
