The introduction overviews philosophical debate which considers: what objects qualify as abstract, what do we mean by the word "exist? and indeed, what evidence should count in favor or against the thesis that abstract objects exist. Through subsequent chapters readers will discover the ubiquity of abstract objects as each philosophical field is considered. Given the ubiquitous use of expressions that purportedly refer to abstract objects, we think that it is relevant to attend to the controversy between those who want to advocate the existence of abstract objects and those who stand against them. Contributions to this volume depict positions and debates that directly or indirectly involve taking one position or other about abstract objects of different kinds and categories. The volume provides a variety of samples of how positions for or against abstract objects can be used in different areas of philosophy in relation to different matters. 410 0$aSynthese Library, Studies in Epistemology, Logic, Methodology, and Philosophy of Science,$x2542-8292 ;$v422 606 $aAnalysis (Philosophy) 606 $aArts 606 $aCulture 606 $aMetaphysics 606 $aAnalytic Philosophy 606 $aArts 606 $aSociology of Culture 606 $aMetaphysics 606 $aGlobal and International Culture 615 0$aAnalysis (Philosophy) 615 0$aArts. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aMetaphysics. 615 14$aAnalytic Philosophy. 615 24$aArts. 615 24$aSociology of Culture. 615 24$aMetaphysics. 615 24$aGlobal and International Culture. 676 $a153.24 702 $aFalguera$b José L$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMartínez-Vidal$b Concha$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910409997603321 996 $aAbstract Objects$92210319 997 $aUNINA
