Metaphysics and Real Possibility

Michael De — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 13:54:37 +0000

Our group’s enjoyable weekly morning breakfasts always prompts some very interesting discussion. Last week we discussed the broad question “What is metaphysics?” An age-old question, to be sure, but still one worthy of continuously readdressing. Since the project is about real possibility, we also discussed how research into real possibility is a metaphysical enterprise. Some of that discussion (and its further developments) may be found below.
