In this chapter I consider Andy’s views on ontological or metaphysical questions in semiotics and the philosophy of education in relation to my somewhat different. The most apparent difference is, of course, that Andy was much more minimalist than I have been, but I also remark some other details. Andy’s manuscript Minimal Ontological Realism as Pragmatist Foundation, and the Ethics of Responsibility, which is posthumously published in this volume, is an important source because in it, he developed and explicated his views more clearly than in many of his earlier texts. I agree with Andy that ontological realism is better kept minimal, especially in semiotics and philosophy of education because a less minimal view can easily be too restrictive both for theoretical and practical developments. However, there may be some limits which render minimalism too restrictive; and in addition, it may be that Andy’s commitment to process ontology is not so minimalist as one could hope.
