The author develops a novel defense ofPlatonism, arguing, first, that .abstracta. - nonqualitativehaecceities - are needed to explain .concreta.‘s being diverse ata time; and second, that unexemplified haecceities are then requiredto accommodate the full range of cases in which there are possibleworlds containing individuals not present in the actual world. In thecognitive area, an original epistemic argument is presented whichimplies that certain haecceities can be grasped by a person: his own,those of certain of his mental states, and those of various.abstracta., but not those of external things. It is argued thatin consequence there is a clear sense in which one is directlyacquainted with the former entities, but not with external things.. | 出版日期 | Book 1993 | 关键词 | Plato; argue; identity; individual; platonism; present; proposition; singular; subject | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-015-8175-2 | isbn_softcover | 978-90-481-4311-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-015-8175-2Series ISSN 0921-8599 Series E-ISSN 2542-8349 | issn_series | 0921-8599 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 1993 |
