This work revives a neglected but important topic in philosophy:
the nature of substance. The belief that there are individual
substances, for example, material objects and persons, is at the
core of our common-sense view of the world, yet many metaphysicians
deny the very coherence of the concept of substance. The authors
develop a novel account of what an individual substance is in terms
of independence from other beings. In the process, many other
important ontological categories are explored: property, event,
space and time. The authors show why alternative theories of
substance fail, and go on to defend the intelligibility (though not
the existence) of interacting spiritual and material substances.
