Craig argues that there are no abstract objects, whereas Van Inwagen argues that there are. Their exchange explores various arguments about the existence and nature of abstract objects. They focus especially on whether our ordinary and scientific thought and talk commit us to abstract objects, surveying the options available to us and the objections each faces. The debate covers central problems and methods in metaphysics, and also delves into theological questions raised by abstract objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eShowcases the presentation and defense of two points of view on the existence of abstract objects, from two of the world's leading philosophers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents definitions in an easily accessible form\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides frequent summaries of previously covered material\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes a glossary of all specialized vocabulary\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeter van Inwagen\u003c\/strong\u003e is the John Cardinal O'Hara Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at the University of Notre Dame.
