Sinopsis

Most contemporary analytic metaphysicians are committed, either explicitly or by implication, to the thesis that ordinary material things, such as trees, houses, mountains, the bodies of persons, their brains, etc., do not exist. Tracing this surprising thesis to a commitment to Galilean Physicalism - physicalism about the external world - this study defends the common sense ontology - an ontology of material things.
