Being by Peter Van Inwagen
Being presents and defends a meta-ontology and an ontology. Peter van Inwagen offers answers to the ontological question 'What is there?' and to the questions of meta-ontology: 'What is it to be (or to exist)?' and 'How should one attempt to answer the ontological question?'
The book is something of a historical document.. this book will be very welcome to those working in the resurgence of analytic meta-ontology because it uncovers the roots of contemporary thinking about being. * Choice *
