Abstract
We have seen that the fate of the subtraction argument, and with it metaphysical nihilism, lies in the balance. The truth of the subtraction thesis (A3) is in doubt. In the previous chapter we considered whether the premises of the subtraction argument are true or not. In this chapter I want to look critically at the underlying argumentative approach used in all versions of the subtraction argument.KeywordsAbstract ObjectModal PropertyConcrete ObjectModal ClaimControversial CaseThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
