This volume examines the question “Do abstract objects exist?”, presenting new work from contributing authors across different branches of philosophy. The introduction overviews philosophical debate which considers: what objects qualify as abstract, what do we mean by the word "exist” and indeed, what evidence should count in favor or against the thesis that abstract objects exist. Through subsequent chapters readers will discover the ubiquity of abstract objects as each philosophical field is considered. Given the ubiquitous use of expressions that purportedly refer to abstract objects, we think that it is relevant to attend to the controversy between those who want to advocate the existence of abstract objects and those who stand against them. Contributions to this volume depict positions and debates that directly or indirectly involve taking one position or other about abstract objects of different kinds and categories. The volume provides a variety of samples of how positions for or against abstract objects can be used in different areas of philosophy in relation to different matters.

A field lies under sun & stars & feels as much as sees the passage of time. People come & go, war comes & goes. The field bears the burden of their existence & comes to understand sacrifice. Prose-poem, picture book for all ages, that examines the human condition in the context of our impact on our surroundings and the regenerative nature of our earth. TEACHER LIBRARIAN REVIEW: An intriguing picture book about change through the perspective of a field. Readers are introduced to ideas concerning urban development, looking after nature and the effects of war on the environment. A thoughtful story. Bianca Thorburn, 5 STAR REVIW: A unique and gripping book filled with illustrations that will capture the attention of all readers. Its tone is very melodic, yet it is without rhyme. I so enjoyed this book. I would definitely recommend [it] to [older] children and adults. It's a very fresh look at the environment around us. Erin Nicole Cochran, Readers' Favorite.
