Modelling metaphysics : the metaphysics of a model / Uwe Meixner.
This book models and simulates metaphysics by presenting the metaphysics of a model. The small size of the model makes it possible to treat metaphysical matters with a more than usual systematicity and comprehensiveness. In the mirror of sustained analogy, simulation-metaphysics offers a wealth of i...

The small size of the model makes it possible to treat metaphysical matters with a more than usual systematicity and comprehensiveness.
