Amie Thomasson developed in her book Ontology Made Easy (2015) a view called easy ontology. The main point of easy ontology consists in the fact that we are able to give easy and, in a sense, trivial answers to ontological questions. The enabler of such a methodology are arguments which Thomassons calls easy arguments. The name of such arguments comes from their form: they all start from an uncontroversial premise which all disputants should be able to accept and lead to an ontological conclusion. With her easy ontology project Thomasson initiated a comprehensive debate in the field of (meta)metaphysics and at the same time consolidated the existing tradition of deflationism in metaphysics. Therefore I believe it is important to lay out the scope of easy ontology and its conclusions. In this paper I argue in favor of the main points of easy ontology and try to give an answer to some of the recurring criticism that is aimed at easy ontology. As part of this goal I’m going to analyze fictionalism as the main rival theory to easy ontology and point out to the reasons why easy ontology represents a theory that stands on more solid foundations. The text of this paper is grounded on the existing literature with my own contribution in a couple of places, for instance my reply to the criticism that easy ontology creates something out of nothing.
