What sorts of material objects are there? Many philosophers opt for
surprising answers to this question that seem deeply at odds with
how we ordinarily think about the material world. Some embrace
radically eliminative views, on which there are far fewer objects
than we ordinarily take there to be, while others go in for
radically permissive views on which there are legions of
extraordinary objects that somehow escape our notice, despite being
highly visible and right before our eyes. In this book, Daniel Z.
Korman defends our ordinary, intuitive judgments about which
objects there are. The book responds to a wide variety of arguments
that have driven people away from the intuitive view: arbitrariness
arguments, debunking arguments, overdetermination arguments,
arguments from vagueness and material constitution, and the problem
of the many. It also criticizes attempts to show that permissive
and eliminative views are, despite appearances, entirely compatible
with our ordinary beliefs and intuitions.
