Relatively Unrestricted Quantification

Abstract

Abstract There are four broad grounds upon which the intelligibility of quantification over absolutely everything has been questioned’ one based upon the existence of semantic indeterminacy, another on the relativity of ontology to a conceptual scheme, a third upon the necessity of sortal restriction, and the last upon the possibility of indefinite extendibility. The argument from semantic indeterminacy derives from general philosophical considerations concerning our understanding of language.
