Thomas Hofweber specializes in metaphysics, the philosophy of language, and the philosophy of mathematics.
He is currently working on a book entitled Idealism and the Harmony of Thought and Reality, which admittedly defends idealism, but it’s not as bad as that sounds. His first book Ontology and the Ambitions of Metaphysics appeared with Oxford University Press in 2016. See OUP, amazon, a PPR book symposium, or an Analysis book symposium for more. A long time ago he co-edited, with Anthony Everett, the collection Empty Names, Fiction, and the Puzzles of Non-Existence CSLI Publications (2000).
