Necessity, Essence, and Individuation

Alan Sidelle

Description

Alan Sidelle's Necessity, Essence, and Individuation is a sustained defense of empiricism-or, more generally, conventionalism-against recent attacks by realists. Sidelle focuses his attention on necessity a posteriori, a kind of necessity which contemporary realists have taken to support realism over empiricism. Turning the tables against the realists, Sidelle argues that if there are in fact truths necessary a posteriori, it is not realism, but rather empiricism which provides the best explanation for them.
