Things is a collection of twelve metaphysical essays by Stephen
Yablo. The essays address a range of first-order topics, including
identity, coincidence, essence, existence, causation, and
properties. Some first-order debates are not worth pursuing, Yablo
maintains; there is nothing at issue in them. Several of the papers
explore the metaontology of abstract objects, and more generally of
objects that are 'preconceived', their principal features being
settled already by their job-descriptions. Yablo rejects standard
forms of fictionalism, opting ultimately for a view that puts
presupposition in the role normally played by pretense. Almost all
of Yablo's published work on these topics is collected here, along
with the previously unpublished 'Carving Content at the Joints'.
