Parsimony, Ontology, Indispensability, Ontological Commitment, Quantifier CommitmentAbstract
In this paper, I introduce two important distinctions that, when taken seriously, help clarify the dialectic behind metaphysical debates and respond to the objection from incredulity. In particular, I argue that the principle of parsimony in metaphysical theorising should be applied more cautiously.
