Abstract

[Theories of objects and items have been – and no doubt will continue to be, so long as they clash with philosophical orthodoxy – subject to a barrage of criticism and objections, often hostile. Some of these are alleged to be fatal or very serious and to show that any theory of objects which do not exist, and certainly of impossible objects, is incoherent in one way or another, or even completely unviable, or involves severe conceptual confusion. Others of these are alleged to show, what is different, that any such theory is otiose or at best uninteresting or not really worth considering. Many of these objections have been made in connection with Meinong’s theory of objects. At this stage some of these objections may seem naive; but they are so frequently encountered that they require exposure. ]
