Physics & ontology

Paperback. Theodore Sider presents a broad new vision of metaphysics centred on the idea of structure. To describe the world well 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. Num Pages: 334 pages, black & white illustrations, figures. BIC Classification: HPJ; HPL. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 234 x 159 x 18. Weight in Grams: 484.
