This Element discusses Meinongianism, which asserts the existence and nonexistence of objects. It explores Meinong's object theory and neo-Meinongian reconstructions, focusing on logical issues, principles, distinctions, interpretations, and neo-Meinongianism and Meinongian logics from historical and systematic perspectives.
Meinongianism (named after Alexius Meinong) is, roughly, the view that there are not only existent but also nonexistent objects. In this book, Meinong''s so-called object theory as well as neo-Meinongian reconstructions are presented and discussed, especially with respect to logical issues, both from a historical and a systematic perspective. Among others, the following topics are addressed: basic principles and motivations for Meinongianism; the distinction between there is (?x) and exists (E!); interpretations and kinds of quantification; Meinongianism, the principle of excluded middle and the principle of non-contradiction; the nuclear-extranuclear distinction and modes of predication; varieties of neo-Meinongianism and Meinongian logics.
