Metaphysics and the Representational Fallacy

New York: Routledge. Edited by Heather Dyke (2007)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

This book is an investigation into metaphysics: its aims, scope, methodology and practice. Dyke argues that metaphysics should take itself to be concerned with investigating the fundamental nature of reality, and suggests that the ontological significance of language has been grossly exaggerated in the pursuit of that aim.
