Description
A detailed and focused defense of necessitarianism is presented in this book. Necessitarianism posits that nothing about the world could have been otherwise in any way, whatsoever. The author argues that this view is true, while the idea that some things in the world are contingent is false. The author assesses various theories of contingency and provides a case for necessitarianism, addressing objections along the way. This book will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in metaphysics, logic, and philosophy of science, as it explores the relevance of necessitarianism to issues in ethics, philosophy of mind, and social philosophy. By examining the nature of contingency and the world's necessary existence, this book offers a nuanced exploration of a fundamental philosophical position.
