SUMMARY:Understanding higher-order metaphysics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Unlike first-order logic\, higher-order logic permits
  quantification into syntactic positions other than name position\, such a
 s predicate position and sentence position. The contemporary movement call
 ed ‘higher-order metaphysics’ is based on higher-order logic. But ther
 e is significant confusion about how higher-order metaphysics relates to e
 xisting questions in metaphysics\, which in turn clouds our understanding 
 of the merits and demerits of higher-order metaphysical theories. Building
  on work done by Lukas Skiba\, I use the notion of conceptual engineering 
 to offer clarification.
