If the sentence 'my cat is on the mat' is true how does it get to
be true? Sentences are made true by what exists. But what about
claims such as 'There were dinosaurs?' and '2+2=4'. How do they get
to be true? Metaphysics: An Introduction uses the idea of truth and
the quest for truth-makers to unravel philosophical problems in
contemporary metaphysics. From the nature of properties and time to
causation and objects, truth becomes a guiding theme to
understanding metaphysical concepts and debates. In response to
feedback from students and instructors, the Second Edition has been
updated with new material in a range of chapters, including
discussions of recent research concerning the nature of physical
objects, time and modality. Recommended readings have been revised
to ensure an improved gender balance while explanations and ideas
are easier to follow. Together with a glossary and discussion
questions, each chapter concludes with a series of mind maps to
help visualise the logical space being explored and how the
arguments push in different directions. Metaphysics: An
Introduction is suitable for anyone studying metaphysical problems
for the first time.
