Opis

This volume gathers studies by prominent scholars and philosophers about the question: how have major figures from the history of philosophy, and some contemporary philosophers, addressed the ultimate why question: why is there anything at all rather than nothing whatsoever? The authors take this question seriously, striving to go beyond accounting for the present state of reality as distinguished from a prior or subsequent state, to the more profound question of discerning why anything whatsoever exists.
