He contended that unreal objects, such as the golden mountain and the round square, genuinely had properties (such as nonexistence itself) and therefore, deserved a place in an all-inclusive science. Meinong?s notion of nonexistents was initially not well-received, largely due to the influence and criticisms of Bertrand Russell. However, it has gained considerable popularity in more recent years as academics have uncovered shortfalls in Russell?s philosophy and strived to explain apparent ?facts? about the beingless. Some philosophers have continued Meinong?s project, further explaining nonexistent objects or formulating logic systems that incorporate them. The more recent developments beg for a re-examination of Meinongianism. This book does just that, putting the theory on trial. Part One considers if Russell truly defeated Meinongianism. It addresses Meinongian rejoinders in response to Russell?s main criticisms and further defends Russell?s alternative solution, his Theory of Descriptions. Part Two explores the rationale for nonexistents and their use in interpreting three types of statements: characterization, negative existential, and intentional. The book argues that, despite appearances, Meinongianism cannot plausibly account for its own paradigm claims, whereas Russell?s framework, with some further elucidation, can explain these statements quite well. Part Three primarily addresses claims about fiction, exploring the short-comings of Meinongian and Russellian frameworks in interpreting them. The book introduces a contextualization solution and symbolic method for capturing the logical form of such claims ? one with the complexity to handle cross-contextual statements, including negative existential and intentional ones. It finally considers where that leaves nonexistent objects, ultimately rejecting such so-called entities. 410 0$aValue inquiry book series.$pCentral-European value studies ;$v231. 606 $aNonexistent objects (Philosophy) 606 $aKnowledge, Theory of 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNonexistent objects (Philosophy) 615 0$aKnowledge, Theory of. 676 $a111 700 $aSwanson$b Carolyn$0893156 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457217503321 996 $aReburial of nonexistents$91994901 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01202nas 2200349-a 450 001 9910146916403321 005 20260218111737.0 011 $a1663-7798 035 $a(CKB)1000000000289957 035 $a(CONSER)--2007205024 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2616317-2 035 $a(DE-599)2616317-2 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000289957 100 $a20050818a200u9999 --- - 101 0 $ager 200 10$aJahresbericht ... /$fAkademie der Naturwissenschaften Schweiz 210 $aBern $cAkademie der Naturwissenschaften Schweiz 215 $a1 online resource 300 $aTitle from cover. 300 $aRefereed/Peer-reviewed 311 08$aPrint version: Jahresbericht (Akademie der Naturwissenschaften Schweiz) 1661-7460 (DLC)--2007205024 (OCoLC)61286946 531 $aJAHRESBERICHT / AKADEMIE DER NATURWISSENSCHAFTEN SCHWEIZ 531 0 $aJahresbericht 606 $aScience$zSwitzerland$vPeriodicals 615 0$aScience 712 02$aSchweizerische Akademie der Naturwissenschaften. 712 02$aAkademie der Naturwissenschaften Schweiz. 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a9910146916403321 920 $aexl_impl conversion 996 $aJahresbericht$9415024 997 $aUNINA
