MENA, Ricardo. Ontological Dependence and Fundamentality. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2018, vol.67, n.166, pp.115-134. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v67n166.56512.

The paper examines one of the most natural and intuitive ways of understanding the notions of fundamental entity and ontological dependence, It argues that those who adopt these notions face serious problems and should abandon them; however, this does not mean that there is no other plausible way of understanding these concepts.

Keywords : ontological dependence; fundamental entity.
