His main merit is to have reestablished metaphysics as a respectable branch of philosophy placing it at the centre of the philosophical debate, and giving it the status of an authoritative and competent interlocutor of both rational and empirical sciences. By means of a rigorously argumentative approach and a sharp prose, Armstrong has built a whole metaphysical system, that is, a comprehensive and unified picture of the fundamental structure of the world. The various chapters of the book address the key issues concerning Armstrong' view about the problem of universals, the nature of states of affairs, the ontological ground of possibility, nomic necessity, and dispositions, the truth maker theory, and the theory of mind. This volume aims to celebrate Armstrong?s memory bringing new understanding, and hopefully stimulating more work, on his philosophy, with the conviction that it constitutes an invaluable heritage for contemporary research in metaphysics. 410 0$aEide ;$vVolume 9. 606 $aMetaphysics 606 $aRealism 606 $aScience$xPhilosophy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMetaphysics. 615 0$aRealism. 615 0$aScience$xPhilosophy. 676 $a199.94 702 $aCalemi$b Francesco F. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465866703321 996 $aMetaphysics and scientific realism$92471084 997 $aUNINA
