From an Ontological Point of View - Heil, John (, Paul B. Freeland Professor of Philosophy, Davidson College, North Carolina, and Professor of Philosophy, Monash University, Australia)

Is the world hierarchically arranged, incorporating 'levels' of reality? What is the nature of objects and properties? What does 'realism' about ordinary objects or states of mind demand? When an assertion is true, what makes it true? This book provides answers to such questions through an examination of ground-floor issues in ontology.
