This title was first published in 2001. The problem of the
subject-predicate distinction has featured centrally in much of
modern philosophy of language and philosophical logic, and the
distinction is taken as basic or fundamental in modern
philosophical logic. Michael Durrant seeks to demonstrate that the
distinction should not be taken as basic or fundamental and argues
that the reason for it being held to be fundamental is a failure to
acknowledge the category and role of the sortal. A sortal is a
symbol which furnishes us with a principle for distinguishing and
counting particulars (objects) and whick does so in its own right
relying on no antecedent principle or method of so distinguishing
or counting. This book explores sortals and their relationship to
the subject-predicate distinction; arguing that the nature of
sortal symbols has been misconstrued in much modern writing in the
philosophy of logic by failing to distinguish sortals from names
and predicates.
