Abstract
Open peer commentary on the article “Why Josef Mitterer’s Non-Dualism Is Inconsistent” by Stefan Weber. Abstract: I argue that Mitterer’s non-dualism does not succumb to the ontological fallacies that Weber claims it does. Also, I show that Weber’s conclusion that “dualism” is a logical alternative to the alleged failure of non-dualism is suggestive rather than argumentative. Instead of focussing on arguments on the level of naïve realism, it would have been better to discuss Mitterer’s idea of the “linguisticness” of the world on the basis of more elaborate philosophies.
