The riddle is this: ‘Nonbeing must in some sense be; otherwise what is it that there is not?’ (Quine 1948\, 21). Take Pegasus\, the flying stallion of Bellerophon\, and the statement\, ‘Pegasus does not exist’. On the one hand\, if the word ‘Pegasus’ does not have a referent\, it seems that there is nothing there to negate; on the other\, if it does have a referent\, it seems that we are forced to affirm and deny Pegasus’ existence\, which is incoherent. Quine suggests that Plato grasped the second horn of this dilemma\, nicknaming it ‘Plato’s beard’. According to this solution\, empty names refer to subsistent entities\, that is\, entities that have some form of being\, but do not exist. But was Quine right that Plato had a beard? In this paper\, I set out the Platonic riddle of non-being in the way that Plato did in the Theaetetus and the Sophist – not as a riddle about negative existential statements in particular\, but as a riddle about how negation is possible in the first place. I argue that Plato’s own solution to the riddle turns on rejecting the view that predicating non-being of something is an assertion of its non-existence\, or its being nothing\, in favour of the view that to negate is to assert a relative difference between an existing subject and its negated predicate. I argue that\, given some of Plato’s assumptions about the non-transparency of reference\, his difference interpretation of negation can solve the Platonic riddle of nonbeing\, but not in the tangled way that Quine alleged.

DESCRIPTION:I think Hegel’s dialectic is\, in Brandomian fashion\, a very inferentialist theory of concepts. There’s conspicuous textual evidence that the majority of theoretical claims in the Phenomenology\, the Science of Logic\, the Encyclopaedia\, are about conceptual connections. Conceptual contents are individuated by the connections with the concepts they entail and which entail them. Since theoretical as well as ordinary language expressions can be governed by incoherent inferential links\, dialectic has to reshape them (one may see it as 19th century conceptual engineering). In particular\, concepts are shaped by relations of modal incompatibility or exclusion. So Hegel claims in the Science of Logic that the essence of dialectic lies in a certain idea of negation: the ‘quite simple insight’ of ‘the logical principle that the negative is just as much positive’\, is all we need to understand dialectic. I propose that what he calls bestimmte Negation\, determinate or ‘positive’ negation\, is such modal exclusion\, out of which blosse Negation\, mere negation\, i.e.\, the contradictory-forming operator\, is abstracted as the minimal incompatible.

The latter two are to account for the possibility of the available information being incomplete or providing contradictory evidence. We present a probabilistic extension of BD that permits agents to have probabilistic beliefs about the truth and falsity of a proposition. We briefly look into the axiomatization for the framework defined and also identify policies for conditionalization and aggregation.
