Abstract
By now, the reader knows that Meinong’s universe consists of everything one can possibly think of. This includes contradictory objects, including contradictory objectives. But the universe with which science and moral theories deal is limited by the law of the excluded middle or the tertium non datur. Many contemporary philosophers, and occasionally Meinong, take it that the Meinongian universe is one in which the tertium non datur1 does not hold.
