The small size of the model makes it possible to treat metaphysical matters with a more than usual systematicity and comprehensiveness. In the mirror of sustained analogy, simulation-metaphysics offers a wealth of insights on the real thing: on the doctrines, the methods, and the epistemology of metaphysics UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110326086 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783110326086 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9783110326086/original ER -
