Non-Being
Oxford University Press (Verlag)
978-0-19-884622-2 (ISBN)
Nonexistence is ubiquitous, yet mysterious. This volume explores some of the most puzzling questions about non-being and nonexistence, and offers answers from diverse philosophical perspectives. The contributors draw on analytic, continental, Buddhist, and Jewish philosophical traditions, and the topics range from metaphysics to ethics, from philosophy of science to philosophy of language, and beyond.
Sara Bernstein is Thomas J. and Robert T. Rolfs Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame. She specializes in metaphysics, with publications on causation, counterfactuals, ontology, fundamentality, time travel, and feminist philosophy. Tyron Goldschmidt was formerly a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Rochester and Wake Forest University. His publications include Ontological Arguments (Cambridge University Press, 2020) and Idealism: New Essays in Metaphysics (co-edited with Kenneth Pearce; Oxford University Press, 2018).
