Description

Properties and Propositions: The Metaphysics of Higher-Order Logic by Robert Trueman explores a key theory in philosophy that challenges traditional notions of objects and properties. According to Fregean realism, properties are not entities but rather the conditions under which predicates are satisfied.

This approach has far-reaching implications for understanding metaphysical puzzles, such as Bradley's Regress and the Problem of Universals, as well as the relationship between states of affairs, propositions, and truth conditions. Trueman argues that Fregean realism ultimately leads to a version of the identity theory of truth, which collapses the gap between mind and world.

This book will be of interest to scholars working in logic, metaphysics, philosophy of language, or philosophy of mind, as it provides a detailed examination of this influential philosophical framework.
