SPRINGERBRIEFS IN PHILOSOPHY THE CONCEPTUAL S...

This book describes a novel conception of reality  one that uniquely incorporates an idealistic
view of existence with an account of objectivity. It introduces a general model of conceptual
analysis and demonstrates its effectiveness in exposing and establishing the existence of
conceptual ties. The book begins by introducing the tools and principles needed for the
conceptual analysis undertaken in chapters that follow. Next  it presents a detailed
examination into existence  contingency  idealism  self-consciousness and natural laws. In the
process  the author critically examines the conceptions of existence held by Kant  Frege and
Russell  argues that the determinations of past  present and future are subjective in the sense
that they imply the existence of consciousness in relation to which they are fixed  shows that
every possible reality includes sufficient conditions for self-consciousness  and confronts the
question of the uniformity of nature  which states that reality is subject to natural laws. In
the end  the idealistic conception of reality developed in this book implies that existence is
relative  rather than absolute  in the sense that it is determined in relation to a point of
view internal to reality. This view of existence implies that reality necessarily exists.
