 Meinongian theories overcome the problems of impossibility and non-uniqueness in a straightforward way. According to Parsons’ theory, a fictional object x which originates in a certain story is the object that has exactly the nuclear properties F such that according to the story, Fx (Parsons 1980: 49–60, 228–23). A fictional object to which the story ascribes incompatible properties is simply an impossible object, but such an object is harmless because it does not exist. As for the problem of non-uniqueness, Sherlock Holmes is not identified as a complete object. Instead Holmes is said to be the object having just the nuclear properties Holmes has according to the stories. There is no number n such that Holmes has exactly n-many hairs according to the stories. So Parsons’ Holmes does not have n-many hairs, for any n. It is an incomplete object.
