对Quine本体论承诺标准的几点质疑

Some Questions Concerning Quinean Ontological Commitment Criterion

本文针对Quine本体论承诺标准提出三个问题:是否如Quine所说,专名可以等值分析为摹状词,约束变元的使用是进入本体论承诺的唯一标准,QOCC的语境是外延的。对此作者给出了否定的答案,并分别进行了论证。

This paper raises three questions conoeming Quinean Ontological Commitment Criterion (QOCC): whether it is true , as Quine holded, that proper names can equivalently be analyzed into descriptions, and that using bound variables is the only way to involve ourselves in ontological commitment, and that the context of QOCC is extensional. The author gives negative answcrs and presents argumentations respectively.
