The Primacy of Metaphysics
New York, NY, United States of America: Oxford University Press (2019)
Abstract
What is the relation between the nature of the things you think about, and the ways you think about them? Christopher Peacocke argues that meaning is never prior to metaphysics - to the nature of the world. He shows that this view holds for a wide range of topics, including magnitudes, time, the self, and abstract objects such as numbers.Author's Profile
