DESCRIPTION:There is a reason why we take some eve
 ry-day ontological practices for granted. It is fo
 r the same reason that people in Trafalgar Square 
 can‘t see England. ‘‘Pegasus flies’’, ‘‘Sherlock H
 olmes is intelligent’’ and ‘‘Apollo is not a rock-
 star”: all these things are conventionally accepte
 d. The question is: how can we make sense of them?
  Or, to complicate the picture, consider ‘‘Ajax li
 ked daises’’ or ‘‘Reptilians exist’’. This only ge
 ts more puzzling; but why so?  The existence of fi
 ctional characters challenges our way of deciding 
 whether a sentence is true or not. Different philo
 sophical stories seem to run into different formal
  problems and vice versa. In short, during this ta
 lk we will discuss stories about stories and try t
 o make sense of our ontological practices.  Join u
 s for drinks and snacks afterwards!
