Abstract

According to Schaffer, most of the controversial entities that ontologists debate exist. Schaffer calls this view permissivism and he defends it by appealing to easy arguments for the existence of the entities in question. Schaffer presents several easy arguments, but his easy argument for fictional characters and his easy argument for God play a crucial role in his defence of permissivism. In this paper, I argue that Schaffer doesn’t have the resources to defend his easy argument for fictional characters or his easy argument for God. So, his defence of permissivism fails.

根据Schaffer的说法，本体论家争论的大多数有争议的实体都存在。Schaffer称这种观点为许可主义，他通过诉诸简单的论据来证明所讨论的实体的存在来为其辩护。谢弗提出了几个简单的论点，但他对虚构人物的简单论点和对上帝的简单论点在他为放纵主义辩护中发挥了至关重要的作用。在这篇论文中，我认为Schaffer没有足够的资源来为他对虚构人物的简单论证或对上帝的简单论证辩护。因此，他对放任主义的辩护是失败的。

期刊介绍： The Philosophical Quarterly is one of the most highly regarded and established academic journals in philosophy. In an age of increasing specialism, it remains committed to publishing high-quality articles from leading international scholars across the range of philosophical study. Accessibility of its content for all philosophers - including students - is an editorial priority. The Philosophical Quarterly regularly publishes articles, discussions and reviews, and runs an annual Essay Prize. Its distinguished international contributors engage with both the established and the new, for example, through reflection on cognitive psychology, decision theory, quantum mechanics.
