In this important study David Armstrong offers a comprehensive
system of analytical metaphysics that synthesizes but also develops
his thinking over the last twenty years. Armstrong's analysis,
which acknowledges the 'logical atomism' of Russell and
Wittgenstein, makes facts (or states of affairs, as the author
calls them) the fundamental constituents of the world, examining
properties, relations, numbers, classes, possibility and necessity,
dispositions, causes and laws. All these, it is argued, find their
place and can be understood inside a scheme of states of affairs.
This is a comprehensive and rigorously this-worldly account of the
most general features of reality, argued from a distinctive
philosophical perspective, and it will appeal to a wide readership
in analytical philosophy.
