Abstract

This paper examines the ontological status of waste, garbage, and remnants, exploring their nature as intentional, non-intentional, ideal, or real objects. Drawing upon Roman Ingarden’s philosophy, the study seeks to apply his categories of intentionality and reality to objects typically seen as marginal. The analysis considers the intentional and unintentional dimensions of human actions that generate waste, particularly in technical, artistic, and scientific contexts. It further explores the ontological and ethical implications of waste, emphasizing its dual relationship to human thought and reality. The paper ultimately aims to contribute to a broader understanding of how waste can be positioned within Ingarden’s ontological framework, bridging the gap between theoretical reflection and real-world phenomena.
