Thomasson, Amie (Association Professor of Philosophy
Description
Arguments that ordinary inanimate objects such as tables and chairs, sticks and stones, simply do not exist have become increasingly common and increasingly prominent. Some are based on demands for parsimony or for a non-arbitrary answer to the special composition question; others arise from prohibitions against causal redundancy, ontological vagueness, or co-location; and others still come from worries that a common sense ontology would be a rival to a scientificone. Until now, little has been done to address these arguments in a unified and systematic way. ORDINARY OBJECTS is designed to fill this gap.
