Abstract
Abstract Thin Objects has two overarching ambitions. The first is to clarify and defend the idea that some objects are ‘thin’, in the sense that their existence does not make a substantive demand on reality. The second is to develop a systematic and well‐motivated account of permissible abstraction, thereby solving the so‐called ‘bad company problem’. Here I synthesise the book by briefly commenting on what I regard as its central themes.
