Millianism and imaginary objects as type states of having in mind

The goal of my talk is to present and defend a Millian account of imaginary names (“Sherlock Holmes”, “Vulcan”, etc.), according to which: (i) every imaginary name has a referent; (ii) such a referent is in our universe (i.e. in the spatiotemporal region where we live); more specifically, (iii) it is in time; (iv) it is created and, at the time of its creation, it comes into existence (since the Neo-Meinongian alternative, advocated by Berto/Priest, that it is a created/uncreated nonexistent object encounters serious difficulties); (v) it is a mental entity, viz. a type state of having in mind. Philosophical and neuroscientific accounts of the Kaplanian notion of having in mind will be provided.
