An anti-individualistic semantics for 'empty' natural kind terms
Grazer Philosophische Studien 70 (1):147-168 (2006)

Several authors (Boghossian 1998; Segal 2000) allege that 'empty' would-be natural kind terms are a problem for anti-individualistic semantics. In this paper I rebut the charge by providing an anti-individualistic semantics for such terms.Author's Profile
