Note publique d'information : La 4eme de couverture indique : "This third volume continues Richard Routley's explorations
of an improved Meinongian account of non-referring and intensional discourse (including
joint work with Val Routley, later Val Plumwood). It focuses on the essays 8 to 12
of the original monograph, Exploring Meinong's Jungle and Beyond, following on from
the material of the first two volumes and further explores aspects and implications
of the Noneist position. It begins with a discussion of the value of nonexistent objects
championed by noneism, especially as regards theories of perception, universals, value
theory and a commonsense account of belief. It continues with: a detailed analysis
of what it means to exist; the importance of nonexistent objects to adequate accounts
of mathematics and the theoretical sciences; and an account of noneisms' distinctiveness
from other accounts of nonexistent objects. These essays are supplemented with scholarly
essays from Naoya Fujikawa, and Maureen Eckert and Charlie Donahue."
