Originally published in 1986. The theory of events presented is one
that construes events to be concrete particulars; and it embodies
an attempt to take seriously the idea that events are the changes
that objects undergo when they change. The theory is about what an
event really is, about when events are identical, about what
properties events have essentially, and about what relations events
bear to entities of other kinds. In addition, this book contains an
account of what philosophers are up to when they provide reasons
for thinking that objects belonging to metaphysically interesting
kinds exist. It also gives an account of the role of criteria of
identity (eg. identical sets must have the same members) in such
reasons, and an account of what criteria of identity must be like
in order for them to be able to play such a role.
