Abstract

“ There is a prime number greater than a hundred” implies “ there are numbers” . It seems that Carnap accepts the former and rejects the latter. How is it possible? And if his view on ontology allows for such a result, should we think of his view as paradoxical? The author does not agree on the light of dividing ontologists into three categories. Indeed, there are two genuine question in ontology: “ what is there? ” And, “ what is the criterion of existence? ” Ontologists in the first category think that the answer of the first question presupposes the answer of the second question. I call them ‘ methodologists’ . Ontologists in the second category, ‘ particularists’ , think that the answer of the second question presupposes the answer of the first. Ontologists in the third category radically reject the possibility of answering those questions altogether. I call this category ‘ ontological Second level skepticism’ and attribute it to Carnap. Finally, I demonstrate how by this attribution Carnap’ s view is not paradoxical. On the other hand, by putting Carnap in the ‘ Refer-Without-Tears’ camp, in opposite of ‘ Inconvenience refer’ camp, I show how he refers without ontological concerns.
