These essays bring together forty years of work in ontology.
Intentionality, negation, universals, bare particulars, tropes,
general facts, relations, the myth of the 'myth of the given', are
among the topics covered. Bergmann, Quine, Sellars, Russell,
Wittgenstein, Hume, Bradley, Hochberg, Dummett, Frege, Plato, are
among the philosophers discussed. The essays criticize non-Humean
notions of cause; they criticize the notion that besides simple
atomic facts there are also negative facts and general facts. They
defend a realism of properties as universals, against nominalism;
bare particulars; a (qualified) realism with regard to logical
form; a Russellian account of relations; and an account of minds
and intentionality, which is opposed to materialism, but is also a
form of (methodological) behaviourism. In general, the ontology is
one of logical atomism and empiricist throughout, rooted in a
Principle of Acquaintance.
