Cambridge University Press Malebranche Dialogues Metaphysics Dialogues on Metaphysics and on Religion Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy
Book SynopsisMalebranche's Dialogues on Metaphysics and on Religion is in many ways the best introduction to his thought, and provides the most systematic exposition of his philosophy as a whole. In it, he presents clear and comprehensive statements of his two best-known contributions to metaphysics and epistemology, namely, the doctrines of occasionalism and vision in God; he also states his views on such central issues as self-knowledge, the existence of the external world and the problem of theodicy. His skilful handling of the dialogue form enables the reader to see how he responds to objections made to his earlier work The Search after Truth. This edition presents a translation of the text which is clear, readable and more accurate than any of its predecessors, together with an introduction that analyses Malebranche's central teachings and explains the importance of the Dialogues in the context of seventeenth-century philosophy.Trade Review"For those wishing to learn more about [Malebrance] thought, this volume is the place to start." Donald Rutherford, Religious Studies ReviewTable of ContentsAcknowledgments; List of abbreviations; Introduction; Chronology; Further reading; Note on the text; Dialogues on Metaphysics and on Religion; Dialogues 1–14; Index.

Cambridge University Press Identity
Book SynopsisIdentity criteria are powerful tools for the metaphysician. They tell us when items are identical or distinct. Some varieties of identity criteria also try to explain in virtue of what items are identical or distinct. This Element has two objectives: to discuss formulations of identity criteria and to take a closer look at one notorious criterion of object identity, Leibniz's Law. The first section concerns the form of identity criteria. The second section concerns the better-regarded half of Leibniz's Law, the indiscernibility of identicals. The third section turns to the more controversial half of Leibniz's Law, the identity of indiscernibles. The author considers alternatives to Leibniz's Law as well as the possibility that there are no adequate identity criteria to be found.Table of Contents1. Identity Criteria; 2. Leibniz's Law: The Indiscernibility of Identicals; 3. Leibniz's Law: The Identity of Indiscernibles; 4. Counterexamples to the Identity of Indiscernibles and Alternatives to Leibniz's Law; 5. Concluding Remarks; References.

Cambridge University Press Metaphysical Realism and AntiRealism
Book SynopsisMinimally, metaphysical realists hold that there exist some mind-independent entities. Metaphysical realists also (tend to) hold that we can speak meaningfully or truthfully about mind-independent entities. Those who reject metaphysical realism deny one or more of these commitments. This Element aims to introduce the reader to the core commitments of metaphysical realism and to illustrate how these commitments have changed over time by surveying some of the main families of views that realism has been contrasted with: such as (radical) scepticism, idealism, and anti-realism.Table of Contents1. Introduction; 2. What is Metaphysical Realism?; 3. Rejecting Realism; 4. The Prospects for Realism.

Cambridge University Press Platos SunLike Good
Book SynopsisIn this book, Sarah Broadie presents an original and lucid in-depth discussion of theRepublic's philosopher-rulers, their dialectic, and their relationship to the form of the good. By reconceiving that form as 'interrogative', the book interprets those central reference-points of Platonism in down-to-earth terms without undermining Plato's philosophical greatness.Trade Review'Sarah Broadie's new book is one of the most exciting and important books I have read on Plato's Republic. Its rigorous and systematic challenge to orthodox ways of understanding what the form of good is, and why mathematics plays a central role in a philosopher's education, will be debated for many years to come.'

Cambridge University Press Meinongianism
Book SynopsisMeinongianism (named after Alexius Meinong) is, roughly, the view that there are not only existent but also nonexistent objects. In this book, Meinong''s so-called object theory as well as ?neo-Meinongian? reconstructions are presented and discussed, especially with respect to logical issues, both from a historical and a systematic perspective. Among others, the following topics are addressed: basic principles and motivations for Meinongianism; the distinction between ?there is? (??x?) and ?exists? (?E!?); interpretations and kinds of quantification; Meinongianism, the principle of excluded middle and the principle of non-contradiction; the nuclear-extranuclear distinction and modes of predication; varieties of neo-Meinongianism and Meinongian logics.
