| Research Abstract |
This research project provided a basic formal framework in analytic metaphysics. By application some significant problems in the philosophy of language, the philosophy of mind, epistemology, the philosophy of science, meta-ethics, social ontology, the philosophy of history and other fields have been analysed. Results of this project were presented on more than 20 occasions, both at domestic and international conferences. More than 10 articles and two books have been published. Furthermore, a firm connection with excellent researchers in East Asia has been established during various activities in the context of the project.
