Description
Ontology Without Borders by Jody Azzouni explores how our experience of objects shapes our understanding of them. Azzouni examines the concept of object and shows what aspects are rooted in the world and what is a product of our senses and thinking.
The resulting austere metaphysics tackles long-standing philosophical problems about constitution, reductionism, and the nature of properties. Azzouni also sheds light on the background logic that underlies ontological debates, from ancient to contemporary perspectives.
By applying a neutral interpretation of quantifiers and quantifier domains, Azzouni provides a framework for understanding our language about various items, including fictional entities like Mickey Mouse and unicorns. This book offers a fresh perspective on the nature of objects and reality.
