Description

Necessary Existence breaks ground on one of the deepest questions anyone ever asks: why is there anything?

The classic answer is in terms of a necessary foundation.

Yet, why think that is the correct answer? Pruss and Rasmussen present an original defense of the hypothesis that there is a concrete necessary being capable of providing a foundation for the existence of things.

They offer six main arguments, divided into six chapters.

The first argument is anup-to-date presentation and assessment of a traditional causal-based argument from contingency.

The next five arguments are new "possibility-based" arguments that make use of twentieth-century advances in modal logic.

The arguments present possible pathways to an intriguing and far-reaching conclusion.

Thefinal chapter answers the most challenging objections to the existence of necessary things.
