1. 1. Pragmatist Metaphysics

   

   The book develops a pragmatist reorientation of metaphysics, treating metaphysical questions as fallible, normative inquiries embedded in scientific and practical activity rather than as quests for fixed, final essences; it draws on classical and contemporary pragmatist resources to defend a naturalistic but non‑dogmatic realism that locates objects, properties, and laws in their roles within inquiry and practice, favors dispositional and relational accounts over rigid ontological categories, and emphasizes pluralism and revisability; it also critiques representationalist and foundationalist approaches and argues that metaphysical commitment should be guided by the success and norms of inquiry rather than by appeals to absolute, context‑independent truth.
