Is it possible to quantify over absolutely all there is? Or must
all of our quantifiers range over a less-than-all-inclusive domain?
It has commonly been thought that the question of absolute
generality is intimately connected with the set-theoretic
antinomies. But the topic of absolute generality has enjoyed a
surge of interest in recent years. It has become increasingly
apparent that its ramifications extend well beyond the foundations
of set theory. Connections include semantic indeterminacy, logical
consequence, higher-order languages, and metaphysics. Rayo and
Uzquiano present for the first time a collection of essays on
absolute generality. These newly commissioned articles - written by
an impressive array of international scholars - draw the reader
into the forefront of contemporary research on the subject. The
volume represents a variety of approaches to the problem, with some
of the contributions arguing for the possibility of all-inclusive
quantification and some of them arguing against it. An introduction
by the editors draws a helpful map of the philosophical terrain.
