Reference And Existence by Saul Kripke
The John Locke Lectures
A set of lectures on how names and singular terms refer, especially in cases involving nonexistence and fiction. It defends a direct-reference approach against descriptivism, proposes that fictional characters are abstract artifacts created by storytelling, and explains how we can meaningfully assert negative existentials while preserving ordinary discourse about the real and the imagined.
