Abstract
The distinctive features of Fine's thought within analytic philosophy are: the opposition to any kind of reductionism; the idea that philosophical analysis should always try to respect and develop our intuitions. He applied this overall approach to several philosophical issues. His most important works, characterized by a a constant attention to the logical formalization of philosophical problems, concern metaphysics (in particular the relation of parthood and the distinction between necessary and essential properties) and philosophy of language (in particular the supervaluationist treatment of vagueness and the semantics of variables). In recent years, Fine has set forth a new view of ontology, according to which the research focus should not be on existence (as Quine thought), but on reality.
