More about the book
Exploring the concept of ontology, the book argues for a shift from substance-based understanding to a process-oriented approach. Andrew M. Winters presents commonsense and naturalistic reasons to suspend judgment on substance ontology, advocating for a process ontology that addresses the limitations of substance-based frameworks. This perspective not only resolves existing challenges but also effectively explains phenomena traditionally attributed to substances, suggesting a more comprehensive metaphysical framework devoid of substance.
