some objects do not exist or have no being: Sosein (so-and-so), so to speak, is independent of Sein (being) (see pp. xxi–ii). Secondly, for Priest, quantification is ontologically noncommittal.

See Priest 1987, Sect. 4.7; Priest 2006, Ch. 19, Sect. 6. For a criticism of Priest’s earlier argument for PEM, see Parsons 1990.
