Empiricists are in general rather suspicious with respect to any kind of abstract entities like properties, classes, relations, numbers, propositions, etc. They usually feel much more in sympathy with nominalists than with realists (in the medieval sense).

Carnap seeks to reject all questions of ontology; epistemology has nothing to say of ontological commitment; see his 'Empiricism, semantics, and ontology'.

Rudolf Carnap, "Empiricism, Semantics, and Ontology," The Analytic Tradition, Spring 2017 The internal–external distinction is a distinction used in philosophy to divide an ontology into two parts: an internal part consisting of a linguistic framework and observations related to that framework, and an external part concerning practical questions about the utility of that framework. This division was introduced by Rudolf Carnap in his work "Empiricism, Semantics, and Ontology". It was subsequently criticized at length by Willard Van Orman Quine in a number of works The view he presents in ‘Empiricism, Semantics and Ontology’ (ESO hereafter) essentially follows from three ideas: the prin- ciple of tolerance, Wittgenstein’s notion of a tautology, and his Empiricism, Semantics, and Ontology Rudolf Carnap Revue Internationale de Philosophie 4 (1950): 20-40.

On Carnap's 'Empiricism, Semantics, and Ontology' - Towards a More Nuanced View Below are some notes on the first two sections Carnap's classic paper ' Empiricism, Semantics, and Ontology '. (Carnap's ideas in this paper have been very influential, and there has been a recent flurry of interest in them, as reflected in the 2016 publication of a volume entitled Ontology After Carnap .

The classical empiricist argument thene used by Hume–is that we do not The paper that gave rise to the renewed focus on ontology was Quine's. “On What There Is.” This was followed by Carnap's “Empiricism, Semantics.

“Empiricism, Semantics and Ontology” by Rudolf Carnap I. The Problem of Abstract Entities Empiricists attempt to limit themselves to nominalistic language, a language not containing references to abstract entities such as properties, classes, relations, numbers, propositions, etc. Empiricism, Semantics and Ontology by Rudolf Carnap. 1. The Problem of Abstract Entities Basically the problem is, in the words of Quine "What is there?", or perhaps better more explicitly "What exists?", lest we should find a difference between the two. 2.

They usually feel much more in sympathy with nominalists than with realists (in the medieval sense). As far as possible they try to avoid any reference to abstract entities and to restrict themselves to what is sometimes called a nominalistic language, i.e., one not containing such references. Some semanticists say that certain expressions designate certain entities, and among these designated entities they include not only concrete material things but also abstract entities, e.g., properties as designated by predicates and propositions as designated by sentences.', Others object strongly to this procedure as violating the basic principles of empiricism and leading back to a metaphysical ontology of the Platonic kind.
