 A position inspired by and in important respects similar to fictionalism that, however, avoids the phenomenological objection is Eklund’s “indifferentism”. Indifferentism is the view that speakers outside the “philosophy room” are often simply indifferent with regards of the ontological implications of their utterances and thus are not committed to the existence of those entities whose existence is implied by their utterances. As Eklund emphasizes, however, indifferentism does not say anything about which entities one should accept in one’s ontology; it is, in this sense, not an ontological thesis. (See Eklund 2005.)
