Metaphysical Perspectives

Exploring fundamental metaphysical and value theory issues, Nicholas Rescher delves into three main areas: the nature of the world, human understanding of it, and the realm of possibility and value. He addresses a variety of themes, including worldviews, contingency, intelligent design, personhood, and moral obligation. With a blend of idealism and pragmatism, Rescher provides an integrated perspective on key philosophical problems, aiming to illuminate central issues through a cohesive, value-oriented lens.
