Necessary Existence breaks ground on one of the deepest questions
anyone ever asks: why is there anything? The classic answer is in
terms of a necessary foundation. Yet, why think that is the correct
answer? Pruss and Rasmussen present an original defense of the
hypothesis that there is a concrete necessary being capable of
providing a foundation for the existence of things. They offer six
main arguments, divided into six chapters. The first argument is an
up-to-date presentation and assessment of a traditional
causal-based argument from contingency. The next five arguments are
new "possibility-based" arguments that make use of
twentieth-century advances in modal logic. The arguments present
possible pathways to an intriguing and far-reaching conclusion. The
final chapter answers the most challenging objections to the
existence of necessary things.
