Inhaltsangabe:

This collection brings together key contemporary texts in metaphysics and features an interactive commentary which helps readers engage the texts critically and to use them to develop their own views.

• Each text is followed by a detailed commentary, setting it in context
• Includes questions designed to help readers think hard about what the author is saying and why, to think of objections, and to formulate his or her own views
• Aims to improve the reader's ability to engage critically with philosophical texts, and to use them as a springboard for philosophical thought and writing
• Introduces readers to the perennial problems of metaphysics and the ways that different analytic philosophers have approached them
