 This section examined the thesis that seemingly singular existential and negative existential sentences are really general existentials, which are then treated as ascribing the property of being instantiated or not instantiated to some property. The need to grant being to entities that do not exist in order to account for the truth of sentences like ‘Ronald McDonald does not exist’ is then avoided, which is no small victory. The success of that proposal, however, was seen to rest on the claim that ordinary proper names have descriptive equivalences, which many philosophers of language reject. (For more on the question of whether or not ‘exists’ is a genuine first-order predicate in deep logical form, see, in addition to the earlier references in this section: [Crane 2012], [Dancy 1986], [Geach 1954.1986], [Haaparanta 1986], [Hintikka 1984,1986], [Kneale 1936], [Mackie 1976], [McGinn 2000], [Miller 1975,1986] [Moltmamnn 2013], [Moore 1936], [Owen 1965], [Pears 1967], [Quine 1948], [van Inwagen 2008], [Vilkko and Hintikka 2006], [Wiggins 1995], [Williams 1981], and [Williams 1995].
