Description
Stuff, Quality, Structure: The Whole Go is a philosophical exploration that defends categorial monism and argues for the ultimate metaphysical identity of things. Galen Strawson presents a case against separatism, which posits fundamental ontological differences between various concepts such as object, process, property, state, and event.
Strawson contends that these differences are superficial and that the same phenomenon can be conceptualized in different ways, all ultimately referring to the nature of stuff. He also considers the role of structure in an account of concrete reality, arguing that it is an abstract, logico-mathematically characterizable phenomenon.
The book presents a nuanced view on identity metaphysics, thing monism, and the relationship between structure and non-structural aspects of reality. By examining these concepts, Strawson aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the nature of stuff and its fundamental characteristics.
