Metaphysics is one of the traditional four main branches of
philosophy, alongside ethics, logic and epistemology. It is also an
area that continues to attract and hold a fascination for many
people yet it is associated with being complex and abstract. For
some it is associated with the mystical or religious. For others it
is known through the metaphysical poets who talk of love and
spirituality. This Very Short Introduction goes right to the heart
of the matter, getting to the basic and most important questions of
metaphysical thought in order to understand the theory: What are
objects? Do colours and shapes have some form of existence? What is
it for one thing to cause another rather than just being associated
with it? What is possible? Does time pass? By using these questions
to initiate thought about the basic issues around substance,
properties, changes, causes, possibilities, time, personal
identity, nothingness and emergentism, Stephen Mumford provides a
clear and simple path through this analytical tradition at the core
of philosophical thought. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short
Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds
of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books
are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our
expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and
enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly
readable.
