This edited volume is a comprehensive presentation of views on the relations        between metaphysics and logic from Aristotle through twentieth century philosophers        who contributed to the return of metaphysics in the analytic tradition. The        collection combines interest in logic and its history with interest in analytical        metaphysics and the history of metaphysical thought. By so doing, it adds both to        the historical understanding of metaphysical problems and to contemporary research        in the field. Throughout the volume, essays focus on metaphysica generalis, or the        systematic study of the most general categories of being.Beginning with Aristotle        and his Categories , the volume goes on to trace metaphyscis and logic through the        late ancient and Arabic traditions, examining the views of Thomas Aquinas, Duns        Scotus, and William Ockham. Moving into the early modern period, contributors engage        with Leibniz's metaphysics, Kant's critique of metaphysics, the relation between        logic and ontology in Hegel, and Bolzano's views.Subsequent chapters address:        Charles S. Peirce's logic and metaphysics; the relevance of set-theory to        metaphysics; Meinong's theory of objects; Husserl's formal ontology; early analytic        philosophy; C.I. Lewis and his relation to Russell; and the relations between Frege,        Carnap, and Heidegger. Surveying metaphysics through to the contemporary age, essays        explore W.V. Quine's attitude towards metaphysics; Wilfrid Sellars's relation to        antidescriptivism as it connects to Kripke's; the views of Putnam and Kaplan; Peter        F. Strawson's and David M. Armstrong's metaphysics; Trope theory; and its relation        to Popper's conception of three worlds. The volume ends with a chapter on        transcendental philosophy as ontology.In each chapter, contributors approach their        topics not merely in an historical and exegetical fashion, but also engage        critically with the thought of the philosophers whose work they discuss, offering        synthesis and original philosophical thought in the volume, in addition to very        extensive and well-informed analysis and interpretation of important philosophical        texts. The volume will serve as an essential reference for scholars of metaphysics        and logic.
