Real natures and familiar objects
"A Bradford book."In Real Natures and Familiar Objects Crawford Elder defends, with qualifications, the ontology of common sense. He argues that we exist--that no gloss is necessary for the statement "human beings exist" to show that it is true of the world as it really is--and that we are surrounded by many of the medium-sized objects in which common sense believes. He argues further that thes…

Speculations II
From the Editorial Introduction: "If the first volume of Speculations was enough of an explicit wager, a willing blind leap in the terra incognita of the publishing world, then this volume forces us to stop and evaluate the reasons for the journal’s protracted existence.
