This book sets out a new theory of the unity of objects. The author
introduces the reader to the central problems faced by
philosophical accounts of identity, problems which can, to a large
extent, be solved using the theory developed in the book. In his
consideration of the vexed issue of personal identity, the author
argues that in our everyday thinking about persons we merge
radically different kinds of notions. He suggests that our
assessment of sameness of person is not founded on any determinate
concept of person. Many central topics in epistemology and
metaphysics are addressed in the course of the book and the author
provides an original examination of each: the nature of physical
objects, the metaphysics of possible worlds, the meaning of
continuity in space and time and the nature of philosophical
theorizing itself. The book is written in non-technical language
and so will be of interest to the non-specialist philosopher.
