Philosophy of Comics
What exactly is a comic? What is the difference between a comic and an illustrated novel? Could a comic be rightly counted as a work of literature? Thinking about comics raises a host of philosophical questions. Philosophy of Comics is an introduction to these questions and more. Exploring some of the peculiar features of comics, cartoons, and graphic novels, Sam Cowling and Wesley Cray chart a path through the field of the philosophy of comics. …
Recombining non-qualitative reality
Ontology and the Ambitions of Metaphysics
This book unifies and extends the author's previous work across metaphysics and the philosophy of language and logic with a careful eye toward the foundations of ontology. The result is rich, skilfully crafted, and mandatory for anyone working in (meta-)ontology or nearby areas in the philosophy of mathematics and language where entities like numbers, properties and propositions generate controversy. It will repay a careful reader's interest many…
Conceivability arguments for haecceitism

This essay examines some of the pressing questions that arise regarding the status and structure of resemblance. Among those to be discussed in what follows: what kinds of resemblance relations are there? Can resemblance be analyzed in terms of the sharing of properties…
Intrinsic Properties of Properties
Do properties have intrinsic properties of their own? If so, which second-order properties are intrinsic? This paper introduces two competing views about second-order intrinsicality: generalism, according to which the intrinsic–extrinsic distinction cuts across all orders of properties and applies to the properties of properties as well as the properties of objects, and objectualism, according to which intrinsicality is a feature exclusive to the…
Ideological parsimony
The Limits of Modality
It is commonly assumed that all propositions have modal profiles and therefore bear their truth‐values either contingently or necessarily. I argue against this commonly assumed view and in defence of amodalism, according to which certain true propositions are neither necessarily nor contingently true, but only true simpliciter. I consider three arguments against ‘possible‐worlds theories’, which hold that modal concepts are to be analysed in term…
