    Challenges→Accepting the existence of musical works requires accepting a category of being distinct from both the 'real' and the 'ideal'.

    If the logical structure of the supporting argument assumes that every musical work must be a single enduring entity, this begs the question against eliminativist and pluralist ontologies.

    Key Terms

    Eliminativist ontology(in metaphysics and philosophy of music)
    A philosophical position that denies the existence of certain things we normally think are real—in this case, someone might argue that musical works aren't actually 'things' that exist the way we assume they do.
    Logical structure(as used in logic)
    The underlying pattern of how an argument is organized—which statements connect to which, and how they're supposed to support each other.
    Ontology(Carnap argues this enterprise is based on a mistake)
    The philosophical discipline that tries to answer hard questions about what there really is.
    Single enduring entity(in metaphysics and philosophy of identity)
    One persistent thing that remains the same over time, like a statue that continues to be 'that statue' even as years pass.

    pluralist ontology(This view argues that artistic value works differently in different art forms rather than following one universal rule.)
    A philosophical view that reality contains multiple, different kinds of things or values that cannot all be reduced to one single standard.
