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

15792	Maybe non-existent objects are sets of properties [Lycan]
	Full Idea: Meinong's Objects have sometimes been construed as sets of properties.
	From: William Lycan (The Trouble with Possible Worlds [1979], 09)
	A reaction: [Lycan cites Castañeda and T.Parsons] You still seem to have the problem with any 'bundle' theory of anything. A non-existent object is as much intended to be an object as anything on my desk right now. It just fails to be.
