Review
It was a pleasure to read, exciting, persuasive, and dismaying by turns as I found cherished positions challenged and sometimes upstaged by more attractive and economical options ... a very rich book, full of new and interesting ideas, and of old ideas made interesting in new ways. (James G. Murphy, Milltown Studies)
Heils book is masterful, wide-ranging, and instructive. It is also tightly argued, insightful, and provocative. The book is written in an admirably clear analytic style and is extremely well organized (each of the twenty concise chapters is subdivided into short numbered sections). . . . I strongly recommend this book to anyone with a serious interest in ontology or the philosophy of mind. (Gary Rosenkrantz, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews)

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Is the world hierarchically arranged, incorporating 'levels' of reality? What is the nature of objects and properties? What does 'realism' about ordinary objects or states of mind demand? When an assertion is true, what makes it true? Are natural properties best regarded as qualities or powers or some combination of these? What are colours? What explains the 'projective' character of intentionality? What is the nature of consciousness, and what relation do consciousexperiences bear to material states and processes?From an Ontological Point of View endeavours to provide answers to such questions through an examination of ground-floor issuesin ontology. The result is an account of the fundamental constituents of the world around us and an application of this account to problems dominating recent work in the philosophy of mind and metaphysics.The book, written in an accessible, non-technical style, is intended for non-specialists as well as seasoned metaphysicians. From an Ontological Point of View is an exploration of fundamental questions about what there is. John Heil discusses such issues as whether the world includes levels of reality; the nature of objects and properties; the demands of realism; what makes things true; qualities, powers, and the relation these bear to one another.
