Ontological commitment refers to the philosophical idea concerning the entities that a particular theory, statement, or worldview implies must exist for it to be considered true or valid. In simpler terms, it's about identifying what assumptions or beliefs regarding existence are inherent in a given theoretical framework. The concept is often discussed in the context of metaphysics and philosophy of language, particularly within the works of philosophers like Willard Van Orman Quine.
