My dissertation concerns the restrictions that classical logic, when extended to modality, and temporality, places upon metaphysics when combined with an ontology of causally powerful substances. It is an established result of classical quantified modal logic (SQML) that the domain of discourse is fixed both in terms of what exists at any "possible world" and in terms of what exists at any time. That is, SQML entails that everything necessarily exists and nothing could have existed besides that which exists in fact. Avoiding this outcome would require the abandonment of classical quantificational theory.

One might wonder if there is much place for contingency in a world of necessary substances. The occurrences of events and processes may still turn out to be contingent and, I argue, they provide contingency enough to save the phenomena. In this respect, it is shown that formal classical logic reproduces the ancient ontological division between being and becoming. Being consists of a fixed domain of necessary objects (with necessary intrinsic properties), whatever those objects might turn out to be, while becoming consists of (typically) contingent events and processes. On this view, Socrates the substance is a necessary being while Socrates the lifetime is a process that spanned from 469 BC --- 399 BC. Socrates the substance, however, still exists as a substance (but perhaps not as a human). Events and processes are understood to be less fundamental than the fixed substances themselves, since the former are modifications of the latter. As for the substances, their characterization is mostly negative (i.e., they cannot easily be identified with any familiar objects) but it is argued that they should be understood as concrete objects possessing intrinsic natural properties (construed as both qualitative and dispositional) sufficient to ground the events and processes through which they are manifest and by which we may fix referents to them. Along the way, the dissertation discusses a variety of topics, such as the nature of metaphysical modality as well as the nature of "metaphysical grounding", and dispositional properties.
