Free Download Mark Heller, "The Ontology of Physical Objects: Four-Dimensional Hunks of Matter"
English | 2008 | pages: 180 | ISBN: 052138544X, 0521069491 | DJVU | 1,2 mb
This provocative new book attempts to resolve traditional problems of identity over time. It seeks to answer such questions as "How is it that an object can survive change?" and "How much change can an object undergo without being destroyed?" To answer these questions Professor Heller presents a completely new theory about the nature of physical objects and about the relationship between our language and the physical world. According to his theory, the only actually existing physical entities are what the author calls "hunks," four dimensional objects extending across time and space. This is a major new contribution to ontological debate and will be essential reading for all philosophers concerned with metaphysics.

The Ontology of the Analytic Tradition and Its Origins ; Realism and Identity in Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein, and Quine

Free Download The Ontology of the Analytic Tradition and Its Origins ; Realism and Identity in Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein, and Quine By jan Dejnozka
1996 | 368 Pages | ISBN: 0822630532 | PDF | 20 MB
The analytic movement advertised its ‘linguistic turn’ as a radical break from the two-thousand-year-old substance tradition. But this is an illusion. On the fundamental level of ontology, there is enough reformulation and presupposition of traditional ‘no entity without identity’ themes to analogize Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein, and Quine to Aristotle as paradigmatic of modified realism. Thus the pace of ontology is glacial. Frege and Russell, not Wittgenstein and Quine, emerge as the true analytic progenitors of ‘no entity without identity,’ offering between them at least twenty-nine private language arguments and sixty-four ‘no entity without identity’ theories.
