Are there nonexistent objects? Can we make sense of objects having
properties without thinking that there are nonexistent objects? Is
existence a predicate? Can we make sense of necessarily existing
objects depending on God? Tackling these central questions, Matthew
Davidson explores the metaphysics of existence and nonexistence. He
presents an extended argument for independence actualism, a
previously undefended view that objects can have properties in
worlds and at times at which they do not exist. Among other unique
points of discussion, Davidson considers the nature of actualism,
arguments for and against serious actualism, the semantics of
"exists" as a predicate, the merits of different sorts of
Meinongian theories, and different views on which God might ground
the existence of necessarily existing abstracta. The book offers a
Lewisian-style argument for adopting independence actualism in that
the view may be used to solve many problems in metaphysics,
philosophy of language and philosophy of religion.
