plural conferralists

  1. An advocate of conferralism.

    Since the conferralist about essentiality is committed to the view that essentiality is conferred by ideal versions of us concept users, it seems that if there were no people and hence no conceptual practices that people engaged in, then there would be no essentiality, on the conferralist view.
