Question
Bertrand Russell argued that this property is not a property of objects, but a second-order property of propositional functions. W. V. O. Quine used Plato’s beard to outline the paradox of discussing objects that lack this property. Objects lacking this property comprise Meinong’s jungle. A quantifier named for this property is symbolized by a backwards E. Jean-Paul Sartre asserted that this property precedes essence. Ontology is the study of this property. The teleological and cosmological arguments support the belief that God has this property. For 10 points, name this property of objects that are real, the state of participating in reality. ■END■
ANSWER: existence [accept word forms; accept being because Quine, Russell and other actualists equated them even if others didn’t, accept being real before mention]
