 There is a wide-spread conservative view on objects, which says that any object is an actual object. In other words, the adjective ‘actual’ is redundant, for it excludes no object. From this it follows that non-actual possible objects are not objects, that is, they are nothing. Thus on this view, the adjective ‘possible’ is equivalent to ‘actual’ when applied to objects and (ii) is false. This makes the notion of a possible object, or equivalently the notion of an actual object, uninteresting. The notion of an object is the basic notion and does all the work. There is another conservative view on objects, which does not deal in actuality or possibility directly. It deals in existence instead. It is the view that any object is an existing object. On this view, the following analog of (ii) is false: not every object is an existing object, that is, some object is a non-existing object. This view makes the notion of an existing object equivalent to that of an object; existence adds nothing to objecthood. If we combine talk of actuality and talk of existence, we obtain five alternative conservative views with varying degrees of conservatism:
