Writing the Book of the World
Author: Theodore SiderPublisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 0199697906
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
Theodore Sider presents a broad new vision of metaphysics centred on the idea of structure. To describe the world well we must use concepts that 'carve at the joints', so that conceptual structure matches reality's structure. This approach illuminates a wide range of topics, such as time, modality, ontology, and the status of metaphysics itself.
