Against Impossibilia

The paper argues against the view that impossible worlds are made up of impossible objects. While realism about impossible objects works reasonably well for metaphysically impossible worlds, it cannot accommodate mathematically impossible worlds. In the case of logically impossible worlds, it leads to pervasive contradictions that not even a dialethist can accept.
