The point of departure of critical analysis offered in this paper is the definition of a thing, as formulated by Zdzislaw Augustynek: a thing is a non-empty set of point events, which is temporally and spatially extended, temporally continuous and causally connected. The author presents and discusses several objections to this conception of a thing. Entering in a polemic with point eventism he shows that the concept is unacceptable in its original version and must be re-formulated.
