The small size of the model makes it possible to treat metaphysical matters with a more than usual systematicity and comprehensiveness. In the mirror of sustained analogy, simulation-metaphysics offers a wealth of insights on the real thing: on the doctrines, the methods, and the epistemology of metaphysics.Philosophische Analyse / Philosophical AnalysisMetaphysicsModel theoryMetaphysics.Model theory.110Meixner Uwe595363MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910968617103321Modelling metaphysics4447118UNINA
