    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Gregory holds that the complexe significabile, though not a thing (res), still functions as a distinct intentional object of propositional cognition.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A position can affirm ontological nihilism about X while still granting X logical or semantic reality as a truth-bearer.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Denying thinghood (res) is not equivalent to denying logical realism, since realism about abstracta admits non-substantial modes of being.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason for 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Gregory explicitly follows Adam Wodeham in treating the complexe significabile as that which is known (scitum) and believed (creditum), giving it an ineliminable epistemic role.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Assigning propositional content a sui generis cognitive function structurally parallels Fregean Gedanken, which are real without being physical or mental.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.A thinker who assigns propositions irreducible semantic roles in truth and knowledge cannot coherently be classified as a non-realist about propositional content.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
