Description

Expand your understanding of metaphysics with Things: Papers on Objects, Events, and Properties. Published by Oxford University Press, this collection features twelve essays by Stephen Yablo that examine essential first-order topics. Readers will explore complex themes including identity, coincidence, essence, causation, and properties. This volume offers a unique perspective on philosophical debates. Yablo argues that certain first-order debates are not worth pursuing because they lack significant issues at stake. The collection also investigates metaontology, specifically regarding abstract objects and objects that are preconceived. In these cases, the principal features of an object are settled by their specific job-descriptions. By rejecting standard forms of fictionalism, Yablo presents a view that utilizes presupposition in a way that changes how we view the role of objects in philosophy. This book is a valuable resource for students and scholars interested in the foundations of metaphysics and the nature of properties and objects.
