Ontology, Or Things Existing (1870)

By George Ramsay

Book Overview

Ontology, Or Things Existing is a philosophical work written by George Ramsay and originally published in 1870. The book explores the concept of ontology, which is the study of the nature of existence and reality. Ramsay delves into the question of what it means for something to exist, and examines the different types of existence that can be attributed to objects and concepts. The book is divided into three parts. The first part focuses on the nature of existence itself, discussing the different ways in which things can be said to exist. The second part examines the relationship between existence and reality, and how our understanding of existence is shaped by our perception of reality. Finally, the third part explores the implications of ontology for other philosophical fields, such as ethics and epistemology. Throughout the book, Ramsay draws on the work of other philosophers, including Aristotle, Descartes, and Kant, to build his arguments and provide context for his ideas. He also offers his own original insights and perspectives on the nature of existence and reality. Ontology, Or Things Existing is a dense and challenging work that will appeal to readers with a strong interest in philosophy and metaphysics. It remains a significant contribution to the field of ontology, and continues to be studied and debated by philosophers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
