being an investigation into the unity of reality and of its parts, including the singular object which is nothingness
Graham Priest presents an original exploration of questions concerning the one and the many. He covers a wide range of issues in metaphysics-unity, identity, grounding, mereology, universals, being, intentionality and nothingness-and draws on Western and Asian philosophy as well as paraconsistent logic to offer a radically new treatment of unity.
