Ordinary kinds and ontological angst. Reply to Demartini

Manuscrito 43 (4):215-220 (2020)

Abstract

Thainá Demartini has criticized my view that ordinary natural kind terms refer to vague non-scientific kinds and defended the more traditional view that they refer to precise kinds discovered by science. In this note I reject Demartini’s worries as based on inadequate ontological scruples.
