How did our universe come to be? Does God exist? Does time flow?
What are we? Do we have free will? What is truth? Metaphysics is
concerned with the nature of ourselves and the world around us.
This clear and accessible introduction covers the central topics in
metaphysics in a concise but comprehensive way. Brian Garrett
discusses the crucial concepts and arguments of metaphysics in a
highly readable manner. He addresses the following key areas of
metaphysics: * God * Existence * Modality * Universals and
particulars * Facts * Causation * Time * Puzzles of material
constitution * Free will & determinism * Fatalism * Personal
identity * Truth This third edition has been thoroughly revised.
Most chapters include new and updated material, and there are now
two chapters devoted to attacks on free will and fatalism. What is
this thing called Metaphysics? contains many helpful
student-friendly features, such as a glossary of important terms,
study questions, annotated further reading, and a guide to web
resources. Text boxes provide bite-sized summaries of key concepts
and major philosophers, and clear and interesting examples are used
throughout.
