II 33ff
Existence: "There are examples"/Quine = statement about our whole world. - Tugendhat: Ex "There are lions", "The devil does not exist" are not statements about lions and devils, but about the world.
>Existence/Quine.

I 106
Existence: The sentence "The devil exists" has in reality the form: "There is one and only one object which is devilish".
>Existence statements, >"Exactly one".
Negation: If I say: "There is no object which is devilish", I have no consciousness of a non-existent object.
>Nonexistence, >Negation.
This is true for all objects in space and time, but not for the space and time places themselves. One can say "think that the highway does not pass 200 meters from here", but one cannot say "think that there is no place 200 meters from here".
>Space, >Spacetime.
