They range widely across such topics as Quine's philosophy of quantification, the ontology of fiction, the part-whole relations, the theory of "temporal parts," and human knowledge of modal truths. In addition, van Inwagen considers the question as to whether the psychological continuity theory of personal identity is compatible with materialism, and defends the thesis that possible states of affairs are abstract objects, in opposition to David Lewis's "extreme model realism." A specially written introduction completes the collection, which will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in metaphysics."--BOOK JACKET. 000336294 650_0 $$aOntology. 000336294 650_0 $$aIdentity (Philosophical concept) 000336294 650_0 $$aModality (Theory of knowledge) 000336294 85200 $$bgen$$hB945.V353$$iO58$$i2001 000336294 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/cam021/00031180.html 000336294 85641 $$3Table of contents$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/cam024/00031180.html 000336294 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:336294$$pGLOBAL_SET 000336294 980__ $$aBIB 000336294 980__ $$aBOOK
