Die Ontologie der Sinnfelder und die Reform der Metaphysik

Abstract

In this essay some objections are raised against Markus Gabriel's Sense-Fields Ontology and it is so started a discussion which goes further on the same issue, with the authors' reply. From the perspective defended in this essay, Sense-Fields Ontology is charged with lack of accuracy concerning the definition of some crucial coordinates as "appearance" and "totality". And the point of view of a Reformed Metaphysics, with its insistence on the issues of unity and totality is argued as more apt to face some conceptual challenges of contemporary ontology.
