A Coordinating Stipulation Set for Reality and Ontology
from Philosophics — Philosophical and Political Ramblings · host Bry Willis
Language philosopher Bry Willis introduces a rigorous set of stipulated definitions for metaphysical terms like real, reality, and ontology to resolve linguistic confusion. He argues that these words are often contestable and lack a single, fixed meaning, leading to empty verbal disputes rather than substantive philosophical progress. By defining realness as a product of constraint-responsiveness within specific practices, Willis allows for a nuanced classification of everything from physical atoms to fictional characters. The framework is designed as a self-correcting system, featuring a strict amendment protocol to ensure that any conceptual changes are transparent and logically consistent. Ultimately, the author aims to transform private vocabulary into a functional tool for clearer communication across different intellectual disciplines.👉 https://brywillis634737.substack.com/p/real-reality-ontology-ontic-a-coordinating
