Items related to From an Ontological Point of View
From an Ontological Point of View is a highly original and accessible exploration of fundamental questions about what there is. John Heil discusses such issues as whether the world includes levels of reality; the nature of objects and properties; the demands of realism; what makes things true; qualities, powers, and the relation these bear to one another. He advances an account of the fundamental constituents of the world around us, and applies this account to problems that have plagued recent work in the philosophy of mind and metaphysics (color, intentionality, and the nature of consciousness).

About the Author:
"Heil's book is masterful, wide-ranging, and instructive. It is also tightly argued, insightful, and provocative. The book is written in an admirably clear analytic style and is extremely well organized...I strongly recommend this book to anyone with a serious interest in ontology or the philosophy of mind."--Gary Rosenkrantz, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
"Unusually accessible and sparing of technical jargon. Even advocates of a 'many-levels ontology' who are as resistant to change as I am will find reading this book rewarding."-- Crawford L. Elder, Mind
John Heil is at Washington University in Saint Louis and Monash University, Australia.
