Description: Axiomatic Formal Ontology by Uwe Meixner Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Axiomatic Formal Ontology is a fairly comprehensive systematic treatise on general metaphysics. Its main theme is the construction of a general non-set-theoretical theory of intensional entities. Other important matters discussed are the metaphysics of modality, the nature of actual existence, mereology and the taxonomy of entities. Publisher Description This text is a systematic treatise on formal ontology or general metaphysics. Ontological issues - states of affairs, properties, actual existence, identity, exemplification, and others - are always discussed within, and in relation to, formal axiomatic systems. Starting with a theory of states of affairs, these systems become more and more comprehensive, complex and powerful, until finally the level of a universal ontology of intensional entities is reached. The central unifying notion throughout the constructions is that of part. There are many occasions on which historical ontological theories are discussed, notably those of Leibniz. The book should appeal to ontologists and metaphysicians who have a training in formal logic and who are interested in systematic ontological theories which are logically precise both with respect to the deduction of principles and the definition of concepts. It should also be of interest to analytic philosophers and historians of philosophy. Author Biography Uwe Meixner is a professor of philosophy at the University of Regensburg, Germany, and guest lecturer at the Saints Methodius and Cyril Theological Institute in Minsk, Belarus. He is one of the most distinguished metaphysicians in Germany.
