Abstract

La virtualidad es una peculiaridad propia de los sistemas de representación, dada su capacidad de ir más allá del aquí y el ahora, y de su acción sobre nosotros. El trabajo aborda, desde el marco de la filosofía analítica, algunas maneras de entender cómo las virtuales entidades abstractas son reales, presentando las dificultades de Frege para reconocer como reales a los pensamientos; y las reflexiones de Carnap y Quine relativas a las entidades abstractas, a las que conceden un peso ontológico específico al formar parte de un sistema de representación, sea este un marco lingüístico o una teoría.Virtuality is a peculiarity of representation systems given their capacity of going beyond here and now, and for their capacity of action upon us. The paper considers, within the field of analytic philosophy, some ways in which the virtual abstract entities are understood as real; it analyzes Frege’s difficulties to recognize thoughts as real. The paper also focuses in Carnap and Quine’s reflections in relation to abstract entities, to which they give a special ontological weight that has to do with their belonging to a representation system, be it a linguistic frame or a theory.
