Michael J. Loux is Shuster Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame. He is also editor of Metaphysics: Contemporary Readings, designed to accompany this textbook and also published by Routledge. His book Substance and Attribute (1978) is one of the major metaphysics books of recent years.
Thomas M. Crisp is Professor of Philosophy and Chair of the Department of Philosophy at Biola University. He has published widely on topics in metaphysics, epistemology, and the philosophy of religion.
Metaphysics: A Contemporary Introduction is for students who have already completed an introductory philosophy course and need a fresh look at the central topics in the core subject of metaphysics. It is essential reading for any student of the subject. This Fourth Edition is revised and updated and includes two new chapters on (1) Parts and Wholes, and (2) Metaphysical Indeterminacy or vagueness. This new edition also keeps the user-friendly format, the chapter overviews summarizing the main topics, concrete examples to clarify difficult concepts, annotated further reading at the end of each chapter, endnotes, and a full bibliography.

應該是挺流行的一本教科書。整體比較老,除瞭Crisp寫的兩章基本見不到引用最近二十年的文獻。前幾章有些地方有點Aristotelian (畢竟Loux。全書metalinguistic的分析有點多。除此之外都非常棒!尤其是章節順序在很努力地unify形而上學特有的相對離散的子領域們,最開始圍繞realism/nominalism,之後給齣modality並應用到causation上,然後是time和persistence,這裏很好地給齣瞭模態形而上學和時間理論的對稱結構,之後轉換到(沒有形式化的)mereology,最後是vagueness。從postmodal的當下形而上學界看還缺一章介紹grounding等structuralism的東西,不過也不期待以後的update瞭。
評分不抱希望地祝自己以後遇到的每一本書在結構上都能如本書一般清晰。

評分作為教材私貨有點多。
評分特牛批 無論哪個學科 自然的、人文的、社會的 學理論的都應該最根基學起 值得抱幾年慢慢消化吸收
