Modal Meinongianism: conceiving the impossible

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Modal Meinongianism—the version of Meinongianism invented by Graham Priest—presupposes that we can think about absolute impossibilities. I defend the view that we can, by tidying up a couple of loose ends in Priest’s arguments to this effect from his book Towards Non-Being.
