Graham Priest

One (eBook, ePUB)

Being an Investigation into the Unity of Reality and of its Parts, including the Singular Object which is Nothingness

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Graham Priest presents an original exploration of questions concerning the one and the many. He covers a wide range of issues in metaphysics--unity, identity, grounding, mereology, universals, being, intentionality and nothingness--and draws on Western and Asian philosophy as well as paraconsistent logic to offer a radically new treatment of unity.
