In thinking about ontology as the study of being or what
fundamentally exists, we can adopt an ontology that either takes
substances or processes as primary. There are, however, both
commonsense and naturalistic reasons for not fully adopting a
substance ontology, which indicate that we ought to suspend
judgment with respect to the acceptance of a substance ontology.
Doing so allows room to further explore other ontologies. In this
book, Andrew M. Winters argues that there are both commonsense and
naturalistic reasons for further pursuing a process ontology.
Adopting a process ontology allows us to overcome many of the
difficulties facing a substance ontology while also accommodating
many of the phenomenon that substance ontologies were appealed to
for explanation. Given these reasons, we have both commonsense and
naturalistic reasons for pursuing and developing a metaphysics
without substance.
