Common Sense Metaphysics by Luis Oliveira
This book celebrates the career of Lynne Rudder Baker by presenting 16 essays from admiring students, colleagues, interlocutors, and friends. The essays engage with all aspects of her influential work: practical realism about the mind; the constitution view of human persons; the first-person perspective; and God, Christianity and naturalism.
"Lynne Rudder Baker was one of the foremost metaphysicians of her timeOpposing the contemporary trend to explain aspects of our world in terms of posits of fundamental physics, Baker defended important nonreductive views about a range of phenomena including persons, minds, and ordinary material objects. In this new collection, eminent scholars in philosophy discuss various aspects of Baker’s thought—from her Constitution View of human persons to her positions on arguments about the existence of God. Whether or not one is persuaded by Baker’s common-sense approach, it is clear that her ideas warrant deep attention. This volume will be of interest to theorists and students of metaphysics for years to come." – Jacob Berger, Lycoming College, USA
