Читать книгу This Is Metaphysics - Kris McDaniel - Страница 21

In addition to the readings I mentioned earlier in this chapter, here are some suggestions for further reading, along with very brief descriptions of them:

1 Anjan Chakravartty (2011) “Scientific Realism and Ontological Relativity,” The Monist, vol. 94, no. 2, pp. 157–180.¹¹This is an important paper on the metaphysics of classification from a perspective from the philosophy of science rather than metaphysics.

2 Sally Haslanger (2012) Resisting Reality: Social Construction and Social Critique, Oxford: Oxford University Press.¹²This collection of essays contains important discussions of the metaphysics of social groups, including discussions of the metaphysics of race and gender.Ned Hall’s discussion of David Lewis’s views on the natural and non‐natural property distinction in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.¹³An important philosopher discusses one way of cashing out the distinction between important and non‐important properties discussed earlier in this chapter. (And in Chapter 2 as well.)
