| Sumario: | This paper investigates certain puzzling predications about locations and physical objects. I argue first that locations and physical objects are distinct types of things. Locations and physical objects have different individuation conditions. So this should entail that nothing is both a location and a physical object. However, there are commonplace sentences in which terms seem to denote things that are both locations and physical objects. I provide a formal model for how to understand such sentences. |
