      abstract = {In thinking about ontology as the study of being or what  fundamentally exists, we can adopt an ontology that either  takes substances or processes as primary. There are,  however, both commonsense and naturalistic reasons for not  fully adopting a substance ontology, which indicate that we  ought to suspend judgment with respect to the acceptance of  a substance ontology. Doing so allows room to further  explore other ontologies. In this book, Andrew M. Winters  argues that there are both commonsense and naturalistic  reasons for further pursuing a process ontology. Adopting a  process ontology allows us to overcome many of the  difficulties facing a substance ontology while also  accommodating many of the phenomenon that substance  ontologies were appealed to for explanation. Given these  reasons, we have both commonsense and naturalistic reasons  for pursuing and developing a metaphysics without  substance.},
