Description
Modal Logic as Metaphysics by Timothy Williamson provides a rigorous and integrated approach to metaphysical questions. Williamson argues for positive answers to issues about being, contingency, and change, applying modal logic to provide structural cores for metaphysical theories. The book offers a detailed historical discussion of the development of quantified modal logic in the 20th century, as well as an extended argument for controversial answers to metaphysical questions. It provides precise treatments of topics such as the relation between logic and metaphysics, methodology of theory choice, and problems for truthmaker theory. With its rigorous introduction to technical background and systematic logical theories, Modal Logic as Metaphysics is a valuable resource for those seeking to resolve metaphysical questions scientifically.
