Opis

This book formulates and explores a philosophical theory called Eventualism, which it defines as a metaphysical conception concerning the whole reality and every anything, simple or complex, which is verified or supposed to exist. It argues that anythings are not only those things belonging to the natural or physical world, but also those generated by the human mind, individual or collective, and by artificial tools, such as those of AI. The book begins by considering the notions of anything, effectiveness and eventuality, before examining different characters of the anything and, in particular, those of otherness, un-otherness, actuality and un-actuality. It then provides an in-depth analysis of the structure of the eventuality of each anything and the nature of eventual processes and their interrelationships, and outlines some other aspects of eventual metaphysics, considered as a metaphysics belonging to the way in which philosophical thought and the human mind operate.
