Ontological pluralism is the view that there are different fundamental ways of being. Recent defenders of this view—such as Kris McDaniel and Jason Turner—have taken these ways of being to be best captured by semantically primitive quantifier expressions ranging over different domains. They have thus endorsed, what I shall call, quantificational pluralism. I argue that this focus on quantification is a mistake. For, on this view, a quantificational structure—or a quantifier for short—will be whatever part or aspect of reality’s structure that a quantifier expression carves out and reflects. But if quantificational pluralism is true, then a quantifier should be more natural than its corresponding domain; and since it does not appear to be the case that a quantifier is more natural than its corresponding domain, quantificational pluralism does not appear to be true. Thus, I claim, an ontological pluralist should not be a quantificational pluralist.

本体多元论者应该是量化多元论者吗？

本体论多元论认为存在不同的基本方式。这种观点的最新捍卫者——例如 Kris McDaniel 和 Jason Turner——已经采取了这些存在方式，以便最好地被跨越不同领域的语义原始量词表达所捕捉。他们因此赞同，我将称之为量化多元论。我认为这种对量化的关注是错误的。因为，根据这种观点，量词结构——或简称量词——将是现实结构的任何部分或方面，量词表达式雕刻和反映。但如果量词多元论是正确的，那么量词应该比其对应的域更自然；并且由于量词似乎并不比其对应的域更自然，量化多元论似乎并不正确。因此，我主张，本体论多元论者不应该是量化多元论者。
