This book is concerned with the history of metaphysics since
Descartes. Taking as its definition of metaphysics 'the most
general attempt to make sense of things', it charts the evolution
of this enterprise through various competing conceptions of its
possibility, scope, and limits. The book is divided into three
parts, dealing respectively with the early modern period, the late
modern period in the analytic tradition, and the late modern period
in non-analytic traditions. In its unusually wide range, A. W.
Moore's study refutes the tired old cliche that there is some
unbridgeable gulf between analytic philosophy and philosophy of
other kinds. It also advances its own distinctive and compelling
conception of what metaphysics is and why it matters. Moore
explores how metaphysics can help us to cope with continually
changing demands on our humanity by making sense of things in ways
that are radically new.
