Are there nonexistent objects? Can we make sense of objects having properties without thinking that there are nonexistent objects? Is existence a predicate? Can we make sense of necessarily existing objects depending on God? Tackling these central questions, Matthew Davidson explores the metaphysics of existence and nonexistence. He presents an extended argument for independence actualism, a previously undefended view that objects can have properties in worlds and at times at which they do not exist. Among other unique points of discussion, Davidson considers the nature of actualism, arguments for and against serious actualism, the semantics of “exists” as a predicate, the merits of different sorts of Meinongian theories, and different views on which God might ground the existence of necessarily existing abstracta. The book offers a Lewisian-style argument for adopting independence actualism in that the view may be used to solve many problems in metaphysics, philosophy of language and philosophy of religion.

Does the real world, defined as a world of objects that exist independent of human interests, concerns, and cognitive activities, actually exist? Jan Westerhoff argues that we have good reason to believe it does not. He draws on the philosophy of Madhyamaka Buddhism, but defends his stance in a Western philosophical framework.

Nonexistent Objects written by K.J. Perszyk and has been published by Springer Science & Business Media this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1993-09-30 with Philosophy categories.

Issues surrounding the status and nature of `nonexistent objects' constitute one of philosophy's oldest and densest thickets. In this book Perszyk takes his readers surefootedly through this thicket, informed both historically and at the level of contemporary discussion of relevant themes. His main aim is to develop a `bundle' or `set of properties' interpretation of Meinong's theory of nonexistent objects (as opposed to a set of properties neo-Meinongian metaphysics), and to defend this nonstandard interpretation against competing views in both the philosophical and scholarly literature on Meinong. The Meinong who emerges is neither the hero nor the villain his friends and foes have commonly led us to believe. This clearly written book is a valuable addition both to the literature on Meinong and to contemporary metaphysics of modality. It is written for students and professionals interested in these, and related, areas.

Prakash and has been published by Notion Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2023-12-06 with Body, Mind & Spirit categories.

This book is about “Cause (kaaran) and Effect (karya),” philosophy which says that one event (kaaran) gives rise to something else (the effect). In this book, the author has explained soul (Atma/Atman/Consciousness), God (Ishwar/Bhram/Brahm), world (Jagat/Universe), happiness and sorrow, life and death, bondage and salvation (Moksha), life (Praan), inanimate (Jad) things, self-knowledge and ignorance (avidhya/agyaan), truth (Sat/Eternal Truth) and untruth (Asat), mind (Chitta), senses (Indriyaan) and Jiva through different Darshan Shastra. This short, concise book gives a general idea of Jiva, Jagat, and Brahm. The author has tried his best to explain this concept with different stories so that the core concept can be understood better. This does not claim to cover any course or exam curriculum; it is instead a motivational book. However, it might help build the foundation of students who are studying philosophy and motivate them to do something good for society and carry forward the legacy of THE SANATAN SATYA.
