Metaphysics: A Contemporary Introduction is for students who have already done an introductory philosophy course. Michael J. Loux provides a fresh look at the central topics in metaphysics, making this essential reading for any student of the subject. This third edition is revised and updated and includes two new chapters on Time and Causation.

Topics addressed include:

· the problem of universals

· the nature of abstract entities

· the problem of individuation

· the nature of modality

· identity through time

· the nature of time

· the Realism/anti-Realism debate

Wherever possible, Michael J. Loux relates contemporary views to their classical sources in the history of philosophy. As an experienced teacher of philosophy and an important contributor to recent debates, Loux is uniquely qualified to write this book.

· the third edition retains the student -friendly features of previous editions:

· chapter overviews summarizing the main topics of study

· examples to clarify difficult concepts annotated further reading at the end of each chapter

· endnotes and a full bibliography

用户评价

长飞途中读完的。阐述得很清晰，循序渐进，当入门不错。感谢苏莱曼君推荐。

形而上学课

非常好的入门教材！写作十分为读者着想

舒服。有时候还会经常回到这本来完善宏观视野。

分析哲学传统的形而上学研究的基础，对共相、殊相、事态、因果性、可能世界、时间、个体的存续、反实在论等题目各给出一些典型立场，并在每一主题下按立场与立场的互相辩论来阐述。作者本人的实在论倾向贯彻始终。不过不算很深，而且真的遗忘了“存在”啊...
