Abstract: | In this paper I further elucidate and defend a metaontological position that allows you to have a minimal ontology without
embracing an error-theory of ordinary talk. On this view ‘there are Fs’ can be strictly and literally true without bringing
an ontological commitment to Fs. Instead of a sentence S committing you to the things that must be amongst the values of the
variables if it is true, I argue that S commits you to the things that must exist as truthmakers for S if it is true. I rebut
some recent objections that have been levelled against this metaontological view. |
