From an Ontological Point of View is a highly original and accessible exploration of fundamental questions about what there is. John Heil discusses such issues as whether the world includes levels of reality; the nature of objects and properties; the demands of realism; what makes things true; qualities, powers, and the relation these bear to one another. He advances an account of the fundamental constituents of the world around us, and applies this account to problems that have plagued recent work in the philosophy of mind and metaphysics (color, intentionality, and the nature of consciousness).

This textbook is intended to cover the standard material in an elementary first-order, symbolic logic course. The author's goal is to introduce the elements of first-order logic gradually, in small steps, as dearly as possible.This book strikes a balance between highly theoretical texts and those that focus on the applications of logic. The emphasis is on the construction of translations and derivations within a broad theoretical framework.
