Citazioni | We have defined terms as instruments for referring to entities in some world. By “world” we do not mean “real world”, but a mental world, a mental representation or model. It is important to realize from the outset that entities (ES) are not “things in reality”, but “things in the mind”, just as SoAs [states of affairs] have mental rather than real-world status. |
