Autor Vassilis Livanios
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 iul 2018
This book explores the dispositional and categorical debates on the metaphysics of properties.

Drawing upon both established research and the author’s own investigation into the broader discipline of the metaphysics of science, this book provides a comprehensive study of the many views and opinions regarding a most debatable topic in contemporary metaphysics.
