Book excerpt: This new work by David Weissman builds on his earlier "Dispositional Properties "and makes a signal contribution to the study of metaphysics. Here, broadening and enriching the point of view adopted in his earlier work, Weissman cites and criticizes a large number of theories proposed by authors from Plato to the most recent exploration in language theory and metaphysics. Students of Wittgenstein will be especially interested in Mr. Weissman s critical examination of Wittgenstein s picture theory of properties and by Weissman s radical departure from Wittgenstein and other recent metaphysicians in speaking of properties instead of forms, which he holds, constitute a neutral ground for existence and meaning."

This book was released on 1989-09-11 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes a realist, fallibilist alternative when intuitionism and its psychocentric ontology are rejected. Weissman proposes an agenda for metaphysical inquiry and also a method for testing metaphysical claims. Arguing that science and metaphysics are successive refinements of the maps and plans used in practical life, he affirms that metaphysics is to complete our self-understanding by locating us within a world we have not made. This book is a sequel to Intuition and Ideality which surveys the many versions of intuitionism—intuitionism as it prescribes that reality be identified with mind itself or with the things set before our inspecting mind.

This very readable book will open your eyes to a startlingly different reality to the one you may think you know.

It also illuminates these concepts with the developing ideas of thinkers over the ages. What you encounter along the way could change how you see your personal destiny... and your place in the Cosmos.

Download or read book Plotinus Arg Philosophers written by Lloyd P. Gerson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999. We are fortunate in possessing a fascinating document, The Life of Plotinus, written by the philosopher Porphyry, a pupil and associate of Plotinus for the last eight years of his life. The basic facts contained in this Life can be quickly recounted. Plotinus was likely a Greek born in Egypt in AD 205. It is possible, though, that he came from a Hellenized Egyptian or Roman family. In his 28th year, Plotinus discovered in himself a thirst for philosophy. This is a collection of his works- Ennead I contains treatises on what Porphyry calls “ethical matters”; Enneads II–III contain treatises on natural philosophy or cosmology, with some rationalizations for the inclusion of III. 4, 5, 7, and 8. Ennead IV concerns the soul; V Intellect or and VI being, numbers, and the One. The thematic unity of Enneads I, IV, and V is somewhat greater than the rest.

Book excerpt: "Eternal Possibilities: A Neutral Ground for Meaning and Existence" builds on David Weissman's earlier" Dispositional Properties" and makes a signal contribution to the study of metaphysics. Here, broadening and enriching the point of view adopted in his earlier work, Weissman cites and criticizes a large number of theories proposed by authors from Plato to Wittgenstein and others exploring language theory and metaphysics. "" Students of Wittgenstein will be especially interested in Mr. Weissman's critical examination of Wittgenstein's claim in the" Tractatus" that possibilities are the facts for logic. Weissman proposes a modal theory of properties: they exist in the first instance as possibilities. He argues that a sentence is meaningful if it signifies a property or complex of properties existing as a possible, and true if that possible is instantiated. The status of possibilities and their relation to actual states of affairs are considered in detail.
