As Cicero already used to say "there is nothing so absurd but some philosopher has said it." Now for the ontological statute of propositions, it's really a matter of arbitrary axioms. Whether propositions do have autonomous existence would only have interest if it may have an impact on its relations to agents, doesn't it? | |
| Oct 21, 2015 at 15:52 | comment | added | user9166 | It is no longer alien to philosophy to consider propositions independent willing agents. Daniel Dennett, a pretty hefty skeptic, believes in memes, (and now, provisionally, in 'coallitions of neurons' that may respond to propositions at odds with the goals of the hierarchical sanity structure in which they are embedded, which almost gives him a psychoanalytic basis.) | |
