Do numbers, sets, and other abstract entities, exist?
Does mereological composition ever occur? Does it always occur? How
do objects persist through time? In recent years, there has been an
increasing interest in the status of certain traditional debates in
metaphysics such as these. Some think that some of these turn out to
be genuine disputes but of a semantic or conceptual character. Some
think that some of these turn out to be pseudo-disputes that should
be just dismissed. (Some others think, of course, that the disputes
are indeed genuine, but not of a semantic or conceptual character.)
Reflection of these issues promises to shed light on the nature of
philosophical inquiry in general.
Logos is organzing a conference in MetaMetaphysics that will take
place in Barcelona on 19-21 June 2008.
Invited Speakers are
John Hawthorne, Amie Thomasson ,
Timothy Williamson,
Stephen Yablo. |
