Metaphysics First or Language First? The Notion of a Single Object'. To appear in R. Gaskin (ed.): The Question of Linguistic Idealism. Oxford UP, Oxford
- Abstract: This paper argues that the notion of a single object or 'being one' does not require worldly or perceived conditions of integrity or concept-relative atomicity, but rather is imposed by the use of count categories in language and thus makes a case for linguistic idealism.
