A Ramsey sentence is a specific type of formal statement used in logic and philosophy to express the essential content of a theory without committing to the specific nature of its unobservable entities. Named after the philosopher Frank P. Ramsey, a Ramsey sentence allows for the formulation of a theory in a way that abstracts away from underlying assumptions about the existence or nature of the theoretical entities involved.
