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
  • 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.
