Summary

"Arguments that ordinary inanimate objects such as tables and chairs, sticks and stones, simply do not exist have become increasingly prominent in contemporary metaphysics. Until now, little has been done to address these arguments in a unified and systematic way. Ordinary Objects is designed to fill this gap, demonstrating that the mistakes behind all of the superficially diverse eliminativist arguments may be traced to a common source."--BOOK JACKET.
