Fifty years after Willard Van Orman Quine published From a logical
point of view (1953), John Heil brought out his book 'From an
ontological point of view' (2003). The title expresses the shift in
contemporary philosophy from logical and epistemological concerns
to metaphysics. The papers of this symposium discuss that shift,
focussing on what John Heil calls 'ontological seriousness',
truth-making, levels of being, properties, powers, and
reductionism. Each paper is followed by a comment from John Heil.
The volume covers a number of the most hotly debated issues in
today s metaphysics and moves the discussion on in several
important aspects. 'It would be difficult to imagine a collection
of more astute, penetrating, and philosophically hard-hitting
discussions of the kind of metaphysical realism articulated in
'From an Ontological Point of View'. Symposium participants deploy
an impressive range of analytical skills in a way that illuminates
connections among metaphysical positions that too often escape
notice.' (John Heil)"
