Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Do human beings have a special and distinguished place in reality? In Idealism and the Harmony of Thought and Reality Thomas Hofweber contends that they do. We are special since there is an intimate connection between our human minds and reality itself. This book defends a form of idealism which holds that our human minds constrain, but do not construct, reality as the totality of facts. Reality as the totality of facts is thus not independent of our minds,and our minds play a metaphysically special role in all of reality. But reality as the totality of things is taken to be completely independent of us. Hofweber's proposed form of conceptual idealism isformulated via the notion of a harmony between our minds and reality. A key step in the book's argument is to consider a special class of conceptsinescapable conceptswhich we cannot rationally replace with different ones. This leads to a new approach for making progress in metaphysicsimmanent metaphysicswhich is broadly neo-Kantian in spirit. Do human beings have a special place in reality?

From the publisher: "Philosophers and theorists have long been puzzled by humans' ability to talk about things that do not exist, or to talk about things that they think exist but, in fact, do not. EMPTY NAMES, FICTION, AND THE PUZZLES OF NON-EXISTENCE is a collection of 13 new works concerning the semantic and metaphysical issues arising from empty names, non-existence, and the nature of fiction. The contributors include some of the most important researchers working in these fields. Some of the papers develop and defend new positions on these matters, while others offer important new perspectives and criticisms of the existing approaches. The volume contains a comprehensive introductory essay by the editors, which provides a survey of the philosophical issues concerning empty names, the various responses to these issues, and the literature on the subject to date.". First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. Fine EXLIBRARY/No dust jacket. 8vo. xxi, 325pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.…
