This volume introduces readers to a selected number of core issues
in metaphysics that have been central in the history of philosophy
and remain foundational to contemporary debates, that is:
substances; properties; modality and essence; causality;
determinism and free will. Anna Marmodoro and Erasmus Mayr take a
neo-Aristotelian approach both in the selection and presentation of
the topics. But Marmodoro and Mayr's discussion is not narrowly
partisan-it consistently presents opposing sides of the debate and
addresses issues from different philosophical traditions, and
encourages readers to draw their own conclusions about them.
Metaphysics combines a state-of-the-art presentation of the issues
that takes into account the most recent developments in the field,
with extensive references to the history of philosophy. The book
thus makes topics in contemporary analytical metaphysics easily
accessible to readers who have no specific background in
contemporary philosophy, but rather in the history of philosophy.
At the same time, it will engage readers who do not have any
historical background with some key developments within the history
of the subject.
