Existobjects

existobjects is a term that refers to entities or concepts that possess the quality of existence. In philosophical discourse, the question of what it means to exist is central to metaphysics and ontology. Existobjects can be broadly categorized into concrete and abstract entities. Concrete existobjects are those that occupy space and time, such as physical objects like tables, chairs, and living organisms. Abstract existobjects, on the other hand, do not have a physical presence but are still considered to exist, such as mathematical concepts (e.g., numbers, geometric shapes), propositions, and universals.

The nature of existence itself is a complex topic. Some philosophical positions argue for a monistic view where only one fundamental type of reality exists, while others propose dualism, suggesting two distinct kinds of existence (e.g., mind and matter). The debate over the existence of abstract objects, often called the problem of universals, has been ongoing for centuries. Nominalism, for instance, denies the existence of abstract objects, asserting that only particulars exist. Realism, conversely, maintains that abstract objects have an independent existence. The study of existobjects and their properties is fundamental to understanding reality and our place within it.
