Constructing the World

ISBN: 9780199608577 出版年：2012 页码：521 Chalmers, David J Oxford University Press

David J. Chalmers constructs a highly ambitious and original picture of the world, from a few basic elements. He returns to Rudolf Carnap's attempt to do the same, and adopts the idea of scrutability—according to which reasoning from a limited class of basic truths yields all truths about the world—to address central themes in philosophy.
