Much of the most interesting work in philosophy today is
metaphysical in character. Oxford Studies in Metaphysics is a forum
for the best new work in this flourishing field. OSM offers a broad
view of the subject, featuring not only the traditionally central
topics such as existence, identity, modality, time, and causation,
but also the rich clusters of metaphysical questions in
neighbouring fields, such as philsophy of mind and philosophy of
science. Besides independent essays, volumes will often contain a
critical essay on a recent book, or a symposium that allows
participants to respond to one another's criticisms and questions.
Anyone who wants to know what's happening in metaphysics can start
here.

The Oxford Handbooks series is a major new initiative in academic
publishing. Each volume offers an authoritative and up-to-date
survey of original research in a particular subject area. Specially
commissioned essays from leading figures in the discipline give
critical examinations of the progress and direction of debates.
Oxford Handbooks provide scholars and graduate students with
compelling new perspectives upon a wide range of subjects in the
humanities and social sciences. The Oxford Handbook of Metaphysics
offers the most authoritative and compelling guide to this diverse
and fertile field of philosophy. Twenty-four of the world's most
distinguished specialists provide brand-new essays about what kinds
of things there are, in what ways they exist, and how they relate
to each other. They give the latest word on such topics as
identity, modality, time, causation, persons and minds, freedom,
and vagueness. The Handbook's unrivalled breadth and depth make it
the definitive reference work for students and academics across the
philosophical spectrum.
