Saying reality is all does not mean everything is real. A unicorn is real only because of the role he or she plays in reality. Reality has no borders -- it is everything. Without an everything to designate with a word we are prey to binary or dualistic thinking which might be fine for some things

Clark, List: Right, that ambiguity surfaces in the two sentences that I initially mentioned a few days ago. - A unicorn has one horn. - Unicorns are real. The object of "unicorn" in the first sentence is the *idea *of a unicorn, and that is what makes it true, along with the fact that a

Clark, list, I haven't read very much on the problem of reference and generality with respect to fictional characters, so I'm reluctant to say that it usually comes down to equivocation over terms. Also I have in mind Peirce's comment, I don't remember where, that the object determines the

Clark, list, Yes, the different kinds of universe of discourse is indeed a "tricky bit" as you put it. If the sign's object is ultimately the universe of which the special object is a member, or part, then is there any reason for the sign not to be the universe of signs of which the special

Everything is real including unreality, fiction, laundry bags, ideas, muses, thoughts, coughs. There is nothing that is not real. At some point maybe I will go through Peirce and see if I can find the premises that back this up. Of course I will find his binary use of the term but I cannot believe
