商品簡介
Johnson (philosophy, Yeshiva U.) provides students with an in-depth introduction to a few of the traditional problems of academic metaphysics. The focus is on those problems pertaining to truth, logic, similitude, morality, and God. The author begins by critiquing one of Aristotle's claims about the nature of truth and then clarifies what was settled by Quine about "truth by convention." The volume concludes with a historical proof of the existence of God, based on a resolution of the lottery paradox. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
