49Replies (review)Philosophy and Phenomenological Research 70 (3). 2005.Lucky is the writer whose commentators combine perceptiveness and grace. My two commentators delved deeply into the framework I assume in WAI. Where they see gaps, they elegantly nudge the discussion towards needed extensions/clarifications. Both use the monograph to launch searching metaphysical questions—about method and content. I will take up matters of method first, then turn to specific questions in the interpretation of Descartes and the metaphysics of essence/necessity/conceivability.

224The structure–in–things: Existence, essence and logicProceedings of the Aristotelian Society 103 (2). 2003.It has been common in contemporary philosophical logic to separate existence, essence and logic. I would like to reverse these separative tendencies. Doing so yields two theses, one about the existential basis of truth, the other about the essentialist basis of logic. The first thesis counters the common claim that both logical and essential truths-in short, structural truths-are existence-free. It is proposed that only real existences can generate essentialist and logical predications. The seco…Read more
