singular terms at all but only masquerade as such.
Let us now go through the four puzzles and exhibit Russell's solutions
one by one.
Apparent Reference to Nonexistents
Russell put the Problem of Apparent Reference to Nonexistents in terms of
(6):
(6) The present King of France is bald.
Definite descriptions 15
We turn, then, to the inconsistent set of statements corresponding to
J1J6 above, replacing "(1)" with "(6)" and relettering the statements with
"K" instead of "J." (Thus, statement K1 is "(6) is meaningful (significant, not
meaningless)," K2 is "(6) is a subjectpredicate sentence," and so on.)
Now, let us paraphrase (6) according to the foregoing method:
At least one person is presently King of France [more perspicuously,
presently kings France],
and
at most one person is presently King of France,
and
whoever is presently King of France is bald.
No problem
