Truthmakers for Negative Existentials: a neo-Meinongian Approach

a neo-meinongian approach

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present a neo-Meinongian solution to the Truthmaking Problem of Negative Existentials. In other words, I attempt to offer what I presume to be the best Meinongian solution to the problem of answering what kind of object can make negative existentials true. Still, before offering this solution, this paper articulates the relationship between this truthmaking problem and the metaontological paradox of negative existentials.
