Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to argue that Kazimierz Ajdukiewicz (1890-1963) could have accepted the consequences of Amie Thomasson’s “easy ontology”, according to which ontological problems are relatively easy to solve. The attempt to embed Ajdukiewicz’s position in the contemporary metaontological debate shows that his views on ontology should be regarded as deflationary.
