 But this claim is challenged in lecture notes from 1917/18 (1978: 377–8), where Meinong discusses cases of negative outside-being, for example so-called defective objects — objects that involve paradoxes like the liar or the apprehension of inapprehensible objects. (See also 1917, §2: 22–4 [20–1]) where he states that there is a typical case of something that lacks outside-being, namely a round square concretely presented.) In lecture notes from 1910 (1978: 227), Meinong also mentions absurdities, examples of nonsense [Unsinn], and tries to contrast them with cases of a kind of inconsistency [Widersinn] like the round square. Meinong tentatively defines such an inconsistency as something that involves incompatible determinations [Unverträgliches] but is still understandable, whereas nonsense would be something that cannot be understood at all. “A blot of ink fiddled down on a piano”, “green virtue”, and “an automobile paved with therefore” seem to be examples of incomprehensible nonsense. In the end, however, Meinong gives up the attempt to distinguish nonsense from mere inconsistency. Meinong’s point, rather, is that although the first two examples mix determinations of different groups, his theory of objects can describe them as based on incompatibility, and it gives an account of this kind of incompatibility, whereas the last example has only linguistic but no object theoretical relevance (cf. also 1978: 385–6).
