This introduction to ontology provides readers with a comprehensive account of the central ideas of the subject of being. The book is divided into two parts. The first part explores questions of pure philosophical ontology: what is meant by the concept of being, why there exists something rather than nothing, and why there is only one logically contingent actual world. Dale Jacquette shows how logic provides the only possible answers to these fundamental problems. The second part of the book examines issues of applied scientific ontology. Jacquette offers a critical survey of some of the most influential traditional ontologies, such as the distinction between appearance and reality, and the categories of substance and transcendence. The ontology of physical entities; space, time, matter and causation; is examined as well as the ontology of abstract entities such as sets, numbers, properties, relations and propositions. The special problems posed by the subjectivity of mind and of postulating a god are also explored in detail. The final chapter examines the ontology of culture, language and art.Central problems of philosophy.OntologyOntology.111Jacquette Dale.281704UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910825704503321Ontology3946641UNINA01915oas 22008173a 450 991089084180332120251106213014.01935-6773(DE-599)ZDB2577880-8(OCoLC)80182158(CONSER) 2007214140(CKB)1000000000317873(EXLCZ)99100000000031787320070126a20079999 sy aengurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAAOS nowRosemont, IL American Academy of Orthopaedic SurgeonsRefereed/Peer-reviewed1935-6765 American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons nowOrthopedicsPeriodicalsOrthopedicsOrthopédieOrthopedicsfast(OCoLC)fst01048565HealthgalestneComputer network resources.Periodicals.fastOrthopedicsOrthopedics.Orthopédie.Orthopedics.Health.617American Academy of Orthopaedic SurgeonsNSDNSDNSDOCLCQCCOOCLCQOCLCOVT2OCLCOEUWOCLCQOCLCOOCLCFOCLCOOCLCQWY@REBOCLCOMOWAU@OCLCOWYUOCLCOOCLCAOCLCLCCTWT2OCLCLOCLCQJOURNAL9910890841803321AAOS now4237470UNINA
