 It is not clear that natural language ontology can be pursued just as a form of “metaphysics of appearances” without foundationalist considerations. Considerations as to what is relatively fundamental certainly enter decisions as to how to understand derivative entities as semantic values. More importantly, considerations regarding truth play a central role in semantics as well as natural language ontology. The guiding principle for natural language ontology may better be that of giving priority to linguistic intuitions over foundationalist considerations when linguistic intuitions are available.
