Full Idea
A third way has been offered to 'make sense' of neo-Fregeanism: we should reject Quine's well-known criterion of ontological commitment in favour of one based on 'truth-maker theory'.
Clarification
Quine's criterion is that ontology is what is quantified over
Gist of Idea
Neo-Fregeanism might be better with truth-makers, rather than quantifier commitment

A Reaction
[The cite Ross Cameron for this] They reject this proposal, on the grounds that truth-maker theory is not sufficient to fix the grounding truth-conditions of statements.
