Necessary Existence
Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press. Edited by Joshua L. Rasmussen (2018)
Abstract
Necessary Existence breaks ground on one of the deepest questions anyone ever asks: why is there anything? Pruss and Rasmussen present an original defence of the hypothesis that there is a necessarily existing being capable of providing an ultimate foundation for the existence of all things.Author Profiles
