Description

Stephen C. Pepper's World Hypotheses: A Study in Evidence is an analytical study that surveys the whole field of metaphysics by examining six major world hypotheses: animism, mysticism, formism, mechanism, contextualism, and organicism.

The book focuses on issues rather than individuals, seeking to exhibit the sources of these issues and show how they gather into clusters and are interconnected. By applying a root-metaphor method, Pepper puts metaphysics on a purely factual basis, pushing philosophical issues back to the interpretation of evidence.

This book is suitable for use as a text in courses on metaphysics, types of philosophical theory, or present tendencies in philosophy, making it an excellent resource for those looking to explore the field of metaphysics and its various systems of thought.
