DESCRIPTION:Crane's The Objects of Thought  takes 
 as its starting part the truism that some of the o
 bjects we can think about do not exist. This truis
 m however raises a number of ontological puzzles. 
 What is it that we are thinking about when we thin
 k about entities that do not exist? Crane defends 
 two seemingly incompatible claims. On the one hand
 , he argues that reality contains only what exists
 , and since non-existent entities do not exist, th
 ere is no room in reality for non-existents. Crane
  also argues that we can make true claims about en
 tities that do not exist – we can correctly predic
 ate properties of non-existent entities like Pegas
 us and Sherlock Holmes. The remainder of the book 
 consists of characteristically careful argument de
 monstrating how one can, and indeed should, hold b
 oth these claims.  The workshop will feature lectu
 res by Franz Berto, Arianna Betti, Christian Skirk
 e, Julian Kiverstein, plus presentations from grad
 uate students, and will be followed by a lecture f
 rom Prof. Cranehave as speakers be followed by a l
 ecture from Prof Crane titled "Intentional Identit
 y Revisited"   For more information, see http://as
