1	Otherwise Than Being or Beyond Essence more books like this by Emmanuel Levinas add to wishlist A sequel to Levinas's Totality and Infinity, this work is generally considered Levinas's most important contribution to the contemporary debate surrounding the closure of metaphysical discourse, much commented upon by Jacques Derrida. This work contains a fundamentally original theory of the ethical relationship and describes the face-to-face ... see all copies from $19.12! new only from $23.00! \| first editions \| SVS
2	Essentially Speaking: Feminism, Nature & Difference more books like this by Diana Fuss add to wishlist What is the nature of difference? is there an essential femininity? an essential blackness? an essential gayness? Is 'women's experience' essentially different from that of men? Is the difference of 'race' socially constructed? Is 'homosexuality' a function of nature or culture? On such key issues the lines of debate are being drawn: the ... see all copies from $3.19! new only from $28.52! \| SVS
3	Clarendon Library of Logic and Philosophy more books like this by Alvin Plantinga add to wishlist This is a reissue of a book which is an exploration and defence of the notion of modality 'de re', the idea that objects have both essential and accidental properties. It is one of the first full-length studies of the modalities to emerge from the debate to which Saul Kripke, David Lewis, Ruth Marcus and others have contributed. The argument is ... see all copies from $35.10! new only from $47.56! \| SVS
4	Aristotle on Meaning and Essence more books like this by David Charles add to wishlist David Charles presents a major study of Aristotle's views on meaning, essence, and necessity.

They are also of continuing philosophical importance, with considerable relevance for modern debates on ... see all copies from $41.67! new only from $41.67! \| SVS
5	Object and Property more books like this by Arda Denkel add to wishlist Professor Arda Denkel argues here that objects are nothing more than bundles of properties. From this point of view he tackles some central questions of ontology: how is an object distinct from others; how does it remain the same while it changes through time? A second contention is that properties are particular entities restricted to the objects ... see all copies from $39.28! new only from $39.28! \| signed copies \| first editions \| SVS
6	Cartesian Metaphysics: The Scholastic Origins of Modern Philosophy more books like this by Jorge Secada add to wishlist This is the first book-length study of Descartes's metaphysics to place it in its immediate historical context, the Late Scholastic philosophy of thinkers such as Suarez against which Descartes reacted.

7	Aristotle's Modal Logic: Essence and Entailment in the Organon more books like this by Richard Patterson add to wishlist Aristotle's Modal Logic presents a very new interpretation of Aristotle's logic by arguing that a proper understanding of the system depends on an appreciation of its connection to the metaphysics.

9	Scientific Essentialism more books like this by Brian Ellis add to wishlist Scientific Essentialism defends the view that the fundamental laws of nature depend on the essential properties of the things on which they are said to operate, and are therefore not independent of them. These laws are not imposed upon the world by God, the forces of nature or anything else, but rather are immanent in the world. Ellis argues that ... see all copies from $50.63! new only from $50.63! \| SVS
10	Ontology, Modality and the Fallacy of Reference more books like this by Michael Jubien add to wishlist This is a book about the concept of a physical thing and about how the names of things relate to the things they name. It questions the prevalent view that names 'refer to' or 'denote' the things they name. Instead it presents a new theory of proper names, according to which names express certain special properties that the things they name ... see all copies from $27.24! new only from $27.24! \| SVS
