| Summary: | Every scientific theory and every everyday worldview is based on "ontological determinations", that is, assumptions regarding the existence of certain objects. Sometimes implicit existence assumptions contradict explicit beliefs and are undesirable in that sense. Unwanted ontological determinations raise the following questions, among others: What criteria can be used to decide what someone is ontologically determined to be? Is there such a thing as "ontologically neutral" speaking? Are there different "ways of being"?. |
