Metaphysics by Dean Zimmerman

Metaphysics by Dean Zimmerman

This student anthology presents both classic and contemporary readings in metaphysics and collects a wide range of answers to key metaphysical questions. "Metaphysics" originates in attempts to answer some of the most puzzling questions about the world and our place in it. How are the appearances of things related to the things that appear? What is the nature of space and time? How do things persist through changes of parts and properties? How do causes bring about their effects? What is the relation between mind and body? Is it possible for us to act freely? Is there just one world? Why is there a world at all? Could there be an answer to this question? If so, must the answer appeal to the action of a necessary being? The anthology consists of a wide range of answers to these questions.
