Now the reality is much more complex. On the one hand it appears that the alleged ontological innocence of Russell’s solution has been highly exaggerated. In particular it assumes a Platonic ontology of universal properties. At the same time, if we look a bit closer, also Meinong’s theory turns out to be much more complicated than it looks at the first sight. It involves a hierarchy of objects exhibiting different degrees of completeness and in the later period of Meinong’s thought the structure of intentional reference takes a form very similar to that which has been proposed by Russell in his On Denoting.}, type={Artykuł}, title={Definite descriptions and nonexistent objects}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/129809/2022-04-PFIL-13.pdf}, keywords={definite description, existence, intentionality, A.
