Zusammenfassung
An ontological debate is a debate on what there is. A metaontological debate is a debate on how ontological debates should be carried out. Ontology is the discipline which addresses ontological debates, whereas metaontology addresses metaontological debates. In this work, we discuss the standard Quinean view in metaontology. We point out that alternatives to the Quinean position are available. We consider one of such alternative views, i.e. fictionalism in ontology, and we assess its costs.
