Synopsis

Metaphysics: An Introduction, Second Edition combines comprehensive coverage of the core elements of metaphysics with contemporary and lively debates within the subject. It provides a rigorous and yet accessible overview of a rich array of topics, connecting the abstract nature of metaphysics with the real world. Topics covered include:

  • basic logic for metaphysics
  • an introduction to ontology
  • abstract objects
  • material objects
  • critiques of metaphysics
  • natural and social kinds
  • the metaphysics of race and gender
  • grounding and fundamentality
  • free will
  • time
  • modality
  • persistence
  • causation.

This outstanding book not only equips the reader with a thorough knowledge of the fundamentals of metaphysics, but provides a valuable guide to contemporary metaphysics and metaphysicians.

New for this second edition are updated sections on metaphysical indeterminacy; new sections on manipulation arguments and free will and neuroscience; and new chapters on the important topics of social ontology, fundamentality, and grounding.

Additional features such as exercises, annotated further reading, a glossary, and a companion website https: //routledgetextbooks.com/textbooks/9780815350491 have also been updated and will help students find their way around this subject and assist teachers in the classroom.
