J P Studd

Everything, More or Less

A Defence of Generality Relativism

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Almost no systematic theorizing is generality-free. Scientists test general hypotheses; set theorists prove theorems about every set; metaphysicians espouse theses about all things of any kind. But do we ever succeed in theorizing about absolutely everything? Not according to generality relativism, which J.P. Studd defends in this book.
