Possible being must be non-contradictory, but an object of thought includes anything a human being can think, including contradictions and nothingness. When the concept of being, or object of thought, replaces existence as the object of metaphysics, it becomes something other than metaphysics--ontology, or something beyond ontology. However, ontology cannot examine existence because it only investigates concepts and possibility. Only classical metaphysics investigates reality qua reality. This book masterfully treats the history of this controversy and many other important metaphysical questions raised over the centuries\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Piotr Jaroszyński\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004358250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004358256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 484\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 1.20d","brand":"Piotr Jaroszy\u0026#324;ski","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075253301503,"sku":"9789004358256","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_20e50c85-c395-4af4-831a-5f8918490897.jpg?v=1685458482","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/metaphysics-or-ontology-jaroszyski-9789004358256","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
