For this talk, we will venture into the murky shadowlands of ontology to explore the\u00a0third option. Picking up a thread from Yablo\u2019s (1998) remarks on ontology, I\u2019ll suggest that, due to the ubiquity of\u00a0loose talk, things that don\u2019t really exist can still play load-bearing roles in our description of the world. If this really is\u00a0loose talk at work, then it should be possible to draw some\u00a0connections between the pragmatics of loose talk and ontology. That\u2019s what I\u2019ll try to do, bringing the logic of loose\u00a0talk to bear on issues of Realism vs. Anti-Realism. As a concrete case study, I\u2019ll ask whether or not rainbows are real.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: The Reality of Rainbows: Loose Talk and\u00a0Ontology Abstract: To be, not to be, or to loosely be?
