Throughout the greater part of the twentieth century, both in the
analytic and continental traditions, metaphysics was deemed to be
passe. The last few decades, however, have witnessed a remarkable
growth of interest among analytic philosophers in various
traditional metaphysical topics, such as modality, truth,
causality, etc. which resulted in the emergence of various forms of
analytic metaphysics. The new forms of metaphysics differ from its
traditional forms mostly in their methodology (we may notice
various applications of contemporary formal logical techniques) and
in the range of proposed solutions to particular problems. Besides
these and other differences, however, there are also many
similarities and there are even some who intentionally develop
traditional metaphysical themes using the contemporary analytical
methods. All these developments call for detailed exploration,
which is the general goal of the present publication Metaphysics:
Aristotelian, Scholastic, Analytic. The publication is the fruit of
the conference which took place in Prague in 2010 and which had for
its aim to bring together those willing to explore relations
between the traditional and contemporary concerns, both from among
the leading analytic philosophers working in metaphysics and the
historians of philosophy devoted to the study of the metaphysical
tradition. The specific focus of the conference was a
re-examination of topics such as categories, metaphysical
structure, substance and accident, existence, modalities, and
predication."
