2. Reason / B. Laws of Thought / 6. Ockham's Razor
It is more extravagant, in general, to revise one's logic than to augment one's ontology [Lowe]
     Full Idea: It is more extravagant, in general, to revise one's logic than to augment one's ontology.
     From: E.J. Lowe (A Survey of Metaphysics [2002], p.219)
     A reaction: Meaning there are stronger principles of thought which can trump Ockham's Razor. A few more entities won't hurt. Sound right.
