{"product_id":"alexander-pruss-r-necessary-existence-9780198746898","title":"Necessary Existence","description":"Necessary Existence breaks ground on one of the deepest questions anyone ever asks: why is there anything? The classic answer is in terms of a necessary foundation. Yet, why think that is the correct answer? Pruss and Rasmussen present an original defense of the hypothesis that there is a concrete necessary being capable of providing a foundation for the existence of things. They offer six main arguments, divided into six chapters. The first argument is an up-to-date presentation and assessment of a traditional causal-based argument from contingency. The next five arguments are new \"possibility-based\" arguments that make use of twentieth-century advances in modal logic. The arguments present possible pathways to an intriguing and far-reaching conclusion. The final chapter answers the most challenging objection to the existence of necessary things.","brand":"Oxford University Press(UK)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53768387068246,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/alexander-pruss-r-necessary-existence-9780198746898","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
