"Ontological Commitment" as a book category gathers works that examine what kinds of entities, structures, and categories must be acknowledged by our theories, languages, or practices in order for them to be true or intelligible. It includes analytic and historical treatments in metaphysics and philosophy of language (e.g., debates over universals, properties, numbers, persons), critical investigations in philosophy of science and social ontology (what scientific or social theories presuppose), applied treatments in theology, cognitive science and AI (how models commit to concepts), and even fiction that probes the reality-status of its own entities. These books range from rigorous scholarly argument and textbooks to accessible introductions and imaginative explorations, aimed at readers interested in the conceptual foundations of reality and the implications of theoretical choices.
