Could the World Be Flat?

Flatworldism denies that there are hierarchical relationships of ontological priority between things: a coffee cup is no less fundamental than the particles that make it up, and a corporation is no less fundamental than its employees. In this discussion of Marc Fiocco's Time and World, I entertain several versions of flatworldism, including Fiocco's own version. After drawing connections between flatworldism and ontological pluralism, I suggest that some versions of flatworldism, including ontological pluralism and ontological nihilism, fare better with respect to explanatory power than Fiocco's formulation.
