But I went back to the library today (with my nephews, which meant I could only photocopy a few pages and couldn't do much reading) and photocopied pp. 149-152. I agree with his analysis: There are two ways "Socrates is not snubnosed" could be true, one of them by Socrates's being nonsnubnosed and the other by Socrates's failure to exist at all. Only the former predicates anything of Socrates. I haven’t read the whole book; primarily, I read the section on Plantinga’s modal argument for God’s existence.
