Absolute Generality
In Ricki Bliss & James Miller, The Routledge Handbook of Metametaphysics. New York, NY: Routledge. pp. 130-142 (2020)
Abstract
Absolutism, as I will understand it here, is the thesis that there is sense to be made of absolutely general quantification: quantification over absolutely everything there is. The aim of this chapter is to clarify the metaphysical debate between absolutists and some of their detractors.Author's Profile
