9. Objects / A. Existence of Objects / 4. Impossible objects

12448	Things that don't exist don't have any properties [Azzouni]
	Full Idea: Things that don't exist don't have any properties.
	From: Jody Azzouni (Deflating Existential Consequence [2004], Ch.4)
	A reaction: Sounds reasonable! I totally agree, but that is because my notion of properties is sparse and naturalistic. If you identify properties with predicates (which some weird people seem to), then non-existents can have properties like 'absence' or 'nullity'.
