Abstract

Abstract The paper proposes a simple method for constructing ontological theories—an ‘ontology generator’. It shows that such a generator manages to produce major existing ontological theories, e.g., Realism, Nominalism, Trope theory, Bundle theory, Perdurantism, Endurantism, Possibilism, Actualism and more. It thus turns out, surprisingly, that all these seemingly unrelated different ontological theories that were designed by thinkers hundreds of years apart, can all be generated using the same simple mechanism. Moreover, this same generator manages to produce entirely novel ontological theories, that fare no worse than existing ones in meeting the same common metaphysical challenges.

本体生成器
摘要本文提出了一种构造本体论的简单方法——“本体生成器”。它表明,这样一个生成器成功地产生了现有的主要本体论理论,如现实主义、名义主义、托普理论、捆绑理论、持久主义、极限主义、可能性主义、现实主义等等。因此,令人惊讶的是,所有这些看似无关的不同本体论理论,都是由相隔数百年的思想家设计的,都可以使用相同的简单机制产生。此外,同一个生成器成功地产生了全新的本体论理论,在应对同样常见的形而上学挑战方面,这些理论并不比现有理论差。
