Unparsimonious Metaphysics: 535

This book challenges the widely accepted philosophical principle of parsimony, which holds that theories lacking simplicity are inherently doubtful. It critically examines this principle in its unqualified form and explores various ways to present it in a more philosophically appealing manner. The book evaluates different versions of the principle, considering the implications of endorsing one version over another. It is intended for both academics and students of philosophy.
