Can we repudiate ontology altogether?

Noûs, EarlyView.
Abstract Ontological nihilists repudiate ontology altogether, maintaining that ontological structure is an unnecessary addition to our theorizing. Recent defenses of the view involve a sophisticated combination of highly expressive but ontologically innocent languages combined with a metaphysics of features—non‐objectual, complete but modifiable states

Symmetry lost: A modal ontological argument for atheism?

Noûs, EarlyView.

Here, we argue that there are significant asymmetries between the modal ontological argument and its reverse that render the latter more compelling than the former ...

Taking Risks, With and Without Probabilities

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Some hold that expected utility is too restrictive in the way it handles risk. Risk‐weighted expected utility is an alternative that allows decision‐makers to have a range of attitudes toward probabilistic risk. It holds that any attitude within this range is instrumentally rational, since these attitudes represent different, equally good ...
