The Existence Principle

When we ask whether something exists, we expect a yes or no answer, not a further query about what kind of existence, how much of it, whether we mean existence for you or existence for me, or whether we are asking about some property which it might have. In this book, this simple requirement is defended and pursued into its various implications. In the course of this pursuit, such questions arise as: do appearances exist?; do unknowable things exist?; do past and future exist?; and does God necessarily exist? The book offers a non-technical approach to this philosophical question.
