Publisher Description

Amie Thomasson is one of the most important systematic philosophers of her generation. This welcome volume offers an excellent overview of her philosophical program by Thomasson herself, as well as detailed discussion of many aspects of her views on ontology by ten leading critics. The collection will be essential reading for students and researchers of Thomasson's work, and of contemporary ontology more broadly.
—Professor Huw Price, Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of Bonn and an Emeritus Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge: 
Amie Thomasson is one of our most versatile, original, and interesting philosophers. This wonderfully rich volume illuminates, expands on, responds to, and engages with her work in metaphysics, conceptual engineering, ontology, semantics, metaphilosophy and philosophical methodology.

—Professor Herman Cappelen, Chair Professor of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong
Amie L. Thomasson, the Daniel P. Stone Professor of Intellectual and Moral Philosophy at Dartmouth College, has gained international recognition as a leading figure within various areas of philosophy. She has recently been celebrated as one of the most influential living philosophers for her significant contributions to metaphysics, ontology, phenomenology, and aesthetics. By engaging critically with her approach to metaphysics, modality, conceptual analysis, and the methodological issues concerning ontological questions about ordinary objects, social entities, and fictional characters, as well as including a chapter from Thomasson herself where she makes explicit the internal connections which run through her body of work, this volume delivers the first thorough discussion of Thomasson’s philosophy.
