Abstract: In his groundbreaking book, Thin Objects, Øystein Linnebo argues for an account of neo-Fregean abstraction principles and thin existence that does not rely on analyticity or conceptual rules. It instead relies on a metaphysical notion he calls “sufficiency”. In this short discussion, I defend the analytic or conceptual-rule account of thin existence.
