Ontology is the philosophical study of being. More broadly, it studies concepts that directly relate to being, in particular becoming, existence, reality, as well as the basic categories of being and their relations. This book is comprised of six searching essays and six divergent responses comprise a contemporary debate on the classical philosophical issue of ontological commitment: What is the criterion of ontological commitment, and how do our statements in history or in theology, or the structure of our language itself, reflect prior commitment to“what is”? - Contributing essays are by L. B. Cebik, University of Tennessee; Charles S. Chihara, University of California, Berkeley; Romane Clark, Indiana University; J am-es W. Oliver, University of South Carolina; and Bowman L. Clarke and Richard H. Severens, University of Georgia. The rejoinders are by John Beversluis, Butler University; John Heintz, University of Alberta; Robert Vorsteg, Wake Forest University; James F. Harris, Jr., College of William and Mary; and Robert G. Burton and Scott A. Kleiner, University of Georgia. 137 pages
