Contents:

Platonism in the tractatus -- Two kinds of possibility: material and eternal -- Relations among eternal possibilities: the nexus -- Possibilities instantiated: the actual world -- Carnap, goodman, and quine: on the relation of language to the world -- Meaning: the representation of possibilities in language.

Summary: Eternal Possibilities: A Neutral Ground for Meaning and Existence builds on David Weissman's earlier Dispositional Properties and makes a signal contribution to the study of metaphysics. Here, broadening and enriching the point of view adopted in his earlier work, Weissman cites and criticizes a large number of theories proposed by authors from Plato to Wittgenstein and others exploring language theory and metaphysics. Students of Wittgenstein will be especially interested in Mr. Weissman's critical examination of Wittgenstein's claim in the Tractatus.
