Description

Necessary Existence by Oxford University Press addresses one of the most profound questions in philosophy: why does anything exist? This work examines the classic idea of a necessary foundation and explores whether it is the correct answer to the mystery of existence. Authors Pruss and Rasmussen provide an original defense of the hypothesis that a concrete necessary being exists to serve as a foundation for all things. The book is structured into six chapters, each presenting a distinct argument. Readers will find an updated assessment of traditional causal-based arguments from contingency, followed by five new arguments centered on possibility. This text provides a rigorous exploration of theology and philosophy, making it a significant resource for those studying the nature of being and the foundations of reality.
