Abstract:

Abstract This monograph offers a fresh account, in unprecedented detail, of philosophical developments in German philosophy in the first half of the eighteenth century. At the centre of the study is Wolff's seminal text on metaphysics, the Deutsche Metaphysik of 1719. The chapters that comprise the first part of the study focus on the interpretation of Wolff’s text, drawing extensively on the wider intellectual context and Wolff’s own early philosophical and scientific writings to provide a new and comprehensive account of Wolff’s metaphysics. The second part turns to an account of the impact

There exist parallels between the Buddhist concept of Indra’s Net and the notion of moral perspective-taking.

Abstract:

Systematic metaphysics is defined by its task of solving metaphysical problems through the repeated application of a single, fundamental ontology. The dominant contemporary metaphysic is that of neo-Humeanism, built on a static ontology typified by its rejection of basic causal and modal features. This book offers and develops a radically distinct metaphysic, one that turns the status quo on its head. Starting with a foundational ontology of inherently causal properties known as ‘powers’, a metaphysic is developed that appeals to powers in explanations of causation, persistence, laws, and moda

Abstract Fazang is one of the most celebrated and influential thinkers in the history of Chinese Buddhist philosophy. Metaphors for Interdependence is a rigorous and accessible exploration of Fazang’s metaphysical theories, focusing in particular on his vision of reality as a realm in which everything is interdependent and interpenetrating. Fazang explains this vision with metaphors about Indra’s net, coin counting, and a building. The result is the systematic articulation of metaphysics for the Huayan tradition of Buddhism.

Abstract:

Abstract For much of its history, analytic Kant scholarship has been dominated by the idea of Kant as a deeply anti-metaphysical philosopher. But in the last quarter century, analytically inclined Kant scholars have increasingly become skeptical of interpreting Kant as a philosopher who wished to truly “leave metaphysics behind.” Although such readings interpret Kant’s metaphysics in radically different ways, they share a common commitment to the idea that Kant’s philosophy cannot be properly understood without careful attention to its metaphysical presuppositions and, in particular, to how th

Abstract:

Because the magisterial reformers largely rejected metaphysical discourses, is often assumed that the Protestant Reformation had no metaphysics. However, if metaphysics is understood as the ontological relationship between God and the world, how could any theological work not be at least implicitly metaphysical? This book argues that the avowedly anti-metaphysical stance of many reformers is itself a metaphysical position, and that teasing out the implicit metaphysics in their worldviews is both possible and worthwhile despite – or even because of – their insistent denials that they have any s

This article considers the nature of our aesthetic thought and experience.

However, thinking about the nature of our aesthetic thought and experience unavoidably involves us in thinking about the metaphysics that we are committed to in our aesthetic thought and experience. The issue is whether or not aesthetic thought and experience is ‘re

Abstract:

Science has transformed, if not solved, some metaphysical problems while posing new ones. Metaphysical ideas such as those of the ancient atomists have sometimes proved helpful in developing new scientific theories. But the widespread agreement on the empirically grounded progress achieved in science has often been contrasted with what seem to be abstruse and interminable disputes over metaphysical theses. Karl Popper sought to demarcate scientific from metaphysical and other claims by appealing to their empirical falsifiability, while Rudolf Carnap and other logical positivists dismissed meta

Besides independent essays, volumes will often contain a critical essay on a recent book, or a symposium that allows participants to respond to

Abstract:

This book examines the dialectical role of semantic analysis within metaphysical inquiry. It argues that semantic analysis ought to be modest in its metaphysical pretensions in the sense that linguistic and conceptual analysis should not be expected to yield deep insight into either what exists or the nature of what exists. The argument turns on distinctions among narrowly linguistic semantics in the generative tradition and two varieties of broadly philosophical semantics which correspond to broad approaches to semantically infused metaphysical inquiry. In particular it distinguishes ideation

Abstract:

The topic of this chapter is the difficult conclusion of Hegel’s Science of Logic, concerning what Hegel calls ‘Objectivity’ and the ‘Absolute Idea’. It is argued that there are two keys to finding Hegel’s argument and its philosophical strengths. First, Hegel takes a kind of metaphysics as basic to philosophy. Second, Hegel aims to support an ambitious metaphysics, but not (as is sometimes thought) a form of metaphysical monism; rather, Hegel argues that there is something with absolute metaphysical priority, but this is something that must be realized in something with less metaphysical prio

Abstract:

This book develops a new approach to understanding our claims about what is metaphysically necessary or possible: modal normativism. While claims about what is metaphysically necessary or possible have long played a central role in metaphysics and other areas of philosophy, such claims are traditionally thought of as aiming to describe a special kind of modal fact or property, or perhaps facts about other possible worlds. But that assumption leads to difficult ontological, epistemological, and methodological puzzles. Should we accept that there are modal facts or properties, or other possible

Abstract:

Metaphysical and ontological debates—debates about what exists and the nature of reality—have long been among the most discussed topics in philosophy. However, some argue that ontological debates are non-substantive, pointless, trivial, incoherent, or impossible. Debates about whether tables exist, or about the nature of reality, are taken to be defective in some way. This has led to a burgeoning literature studying the nature of metaphysical and ontological disputes themselves. A prominent line of argument has focused on questions concerning the language in which metaphysical disputes are con

Abstract:

This book investigates the thought of two of the most influential philosophers of antiquity, Plato and his predecessor Anaxagoras, with respect to their metaphysical accounts of objects and properties. It introduces a fresh perspective on these two thinkers’ ideas, displaying the debt of Plato’s theory to Anaxagoras’s, and principally arguing that their core metaphysical concept is overlap; overlap between properties and things in the world. Initially Plato endorses Anaxagoras’s model of constitutional overlap, and subsequently develops qualitative overlap. Overlap is the crux to our understan

Second, the book explains how these non-factualist views fit into a general anti-metaphysical view called neo-positivism, and it explains
