This is an ambitious and substantial study of metaphysics: its
nature and inescapability. Professor Koerner's method may be
described as 'philosophical anthropology', and aims to arrive at a
characterisation of the metaphysical beliefs with which we (have
to) operate. Professor Koerner begins by describing how the
categorical framework of a person's metaphysical beliefs may be
embedded in more ordinary beliefs and practical attitudes to the
world. He illustrates the variety of such frameworks and describes
their role, going on to explain how they may be modified by
argument and reflection. This is an independent inquiry, but also
the culmination of a series of Professor Koerner's earlier works.
The writing is extremely clear and the material sensitively
controlled, revealing great learning and many suggestive insights
and comparisons. It presents overall a comprehensive and carefully
thought-out account of metaphysics.
