Graham Priest (1994) has argued that the following paradoxes all have the same structure: Chain Paradoxes, and the Heterological Paradox. Their common structure is given by Russell's Schema: there is a property φ and function δ such that (1) w = {x| φ(x)} exists, and (2) if y is a subset of w, then (i) δ(y) ∉ y, and (ii) δ(y) ∈ w. Thus, for example, in the case of Burali-Forti's Paradox, φ(x) i...

In this paper, I point out the problems of the semantics of intensional transitive verbs (e.g.,“seek,” “worship,” and “imagine”) proposed by Graham Priest in his book Towards Non-Being (TNB). On the basis of noneism, a version of Meinongian theory of nonexistent objects, TNB basically takes an intensional transitive as representing a relation between an ordinary individual object and a (possibl...
