書評：A Review of Tim Crane's The Objects of Thought

The Objects of T“bought has an ambitious goal: to give an account of the non-existent. How is it possible to think about what does not exist? How to make sense of the truth and falsehood of thoughts about the non-existent? Crane's book addresses these questions and aims to provide a reductionist solution that is phenomenologically adequate. According to Crane, the proposed answer is reductionist because there are genuine truths about the non-existent, yet they are explained in terms of truths about the existent, the fearnework is said to be phenomenologically adequate, because an adequate understanding of the mind must do justice to the fact that representing the non-existent is a pervasive feature of our thought, and that intentionality, thought's representational power, does not discriminate between the existent and the non-existent.
