2. Reason / E. Argument / 1. Argument

23769	Promoting an ontology by its implied good metaphysic is an 'argument-by-display' [Williams,NE]
	Full Idea: The form of argument which sells an ontology on the basis a metaphysic is known as an 'argument-by-display'.
	From: Neil E. Williams (The Powers Metaphysics [2019], 01.2)
	A reaction: [Attributed to John Bigelow 1999] New to me, but I'm quite a fan of this. For example, my rejection of platonism is not based on specific arguments, but on looking at the whole platonic picture of reality.
