Abstract
I have given my essay this title because it roughly indicates the boundaries of the topic to be discussed and at the same time hints at the method that will be adopted in my analysis. The problem of existence will interest me only to the extent to which it enters the province of logical enquiry and I shall try to disentangle it a little by departing from the generally accepted interpretation of the quantifiers and by bringing in other concepts related to that of existence.
The first draft of this paper was presented to a post-graduate seminar at the London School of Economics on 12th November 1953, and was also read and criticised by Professors J. Łukasiewicz. K. R. Popper, W. V. Quine and J. H. Woodger, from whose generous comments I have benefited much.
