- Summary:
- Philosophers have long been tempted by the idea that objects and properties are abstractions from the facts. But if objects and properties aren't 'already' there, how do the facts give rise to them? Jason Turner develops and defends a novel answer to the question, which depends on a theory of quasi-geometric 'logical space'.
