This selection of D. H. Mellor's work demonstrates the wide ranging
originality of his work. It gathers together sixteen major papers
on related topics. Together they form a complete modern
metaphysics. The first five papers are on aspects of the mind: on
our 'selves', their supposed subjectivity and how we refer to them,
on the nature of conscious belief and on computational and
physicalist theories of the mind. The next five papers deal with
dispositions, natural kinds, laws of nature and how they involve
natural necessity, universals and objective chances, and the
relation between properties and predicates. Then follow three
papers about the relations between time, change and causation, the
nature of individual causes and effects and of the causal relation
between them, and how causation depends on chance. The last three
papers discuss the relation between chance and degrees of belief,
give a solution to the problem of induction, and argue for an
objective interpretation of decision theory.
