Applied Ontology

In der Reihe werden Monographien und Sammelbände veröffentlicht, die sich mit aktuellen Fragen zur Metaphysik und Ontologie befassen, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf systematisch orientierten Studien liegt. Dabei gibt es keine Beschränkungen bezüglich der Positionen, Methoden oder Themen.

This series presents monographs and collected volumes on topics of metaphysics and ontology. Its main focus is on systematic rather than historical studies. There are no restrictions on the philosophical views defended, on the methods used, and on the metaphysical questions addressed. Contributions are invited on topics such as properties, relations, things, events, truth, space, time, causation, free will, and others.
