Photographs Concluding Remarks on Eliminativism and MonismReviewsBenovsky deserves praise for the extent of his ambitions, the scope of this work, and his philosophical boldness. He is unafraid to do very sweeping aprioristic/armchair metaphysics, and unafraid to head in unfashionable and extremely rarefied directions. I think we need more of such big picture work in analytic philosophy. - Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Author InformationHaving been struck by Descartes' evil demon thought-experiment, Jiri Benovsky began to study metaphysics to try to find a proof that the world really exists. He did not find that proof, but at least he found a job at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, where he can not only go in the mountains but also spend his days thinking about things like existence, reality, personal identity, possible worlds, material objects, and time. He is the author of several books, mainly in the fields of metaphysics and aesthetics, including Meta-metaphysics: On metaphysical equivalence, primitiveness, and theory choice (2016) and Persistence through time, and across possible worlds (2006).
