Invasive Weeds in Parmenides’s Garden

Olga Ramírez Calle ; University of Saint Louis, Madrid, Spain

Abstract

The paper attempts to conciliate the important distinction between what-is, or exists, and what-is-not, thereby supporting Russell’s existential analysis, with some Meinongian insights. For this purpose, it surveys the varied inhabitants of the realm of ‘non-being’ and tries to clarify their diverse statuses. The position that results makes it possible to rescue them back in surprising but non-threatening form, leaving our ontology safe from contradiction.

Keywords

Meinong; non-existents; fictions; possibles; impossibles; numbers.
