Metametaphysics –
On the Sense and Non-Sense of Ontological Disputes
Book Symposium: Thomas Hofweber "Ontology and the Ambitions of Metaphysics"
The symposium will take place September 19 & 20, 2013, subsequent to Tobias Rosefeldt's block seminar on Thomas Hofweber's metametaphysics. In the block seminar, we will be preparing for the symposium by going through selected passages of Hofweber's book "Ontology and the Ambitions of Metaphysics". In the symposium, we will host Thomas Hofweber and discuss questions on the selected chapters. There will be short comments as well as open discussions. In addition, he will present further material from his book in two talks.
