Tuomas Tahko

Tuomas Tahko, a Professor of Metaphysics of Science at the University of Bristol, delves into the fascinating realm of meta-metaphysics. He elucidates how this field distinguishes itself from traditional metaphysics and examines the connections to epistemology and philosophy of science. Tahko explores the nature of reality versus perception, emphasizing the distinction between mind-independent entities and their implications. He also considers the concepts of fundamental kinds and the philosophical significance of grounding and essence, all while drawing on ideas from Kant and Plato's allegory of the cave.
