Writing the book of the world [electronic resource] / Theodore Sider. Sider, Theodore. Metaphysics. BD111 110 23 Includes bibliographical references and index. Description based on print version record. Theodore Sider presents a vision of metaphysics centred on the idea of structure. To describe the world we must use concepts that 'carve at the joints', so that conceptual structure matches reality's structure. This approach illuminates a wide range of topics, such as time, modality, ontology, and the status of metaphysics itself.
