Metaphysics asks questions about existence: for example, do numbers
really exist? Metametaphysics asks questions about metaphysics: for
example, do its questions have determinate answers? If so, are
these answers deep and important, or are they merely a matter of
how we use words? What is the proper methodology for their
resolution? These questions have received a heightened degree of
attention lately with new varieties of ontological deflationism and
pluralism challenging the kind of realism that has become orthodoxy
in contemporary analytic metaphysics.
This volume concerns the status and ambitions of metaphysics as a
discipline. It brings together many of the central figures in the
debate with their most recent work on the semantics, epistemology,
and methodology of metaphysics.
Ryan Wasserman explores a range of fascinating questions raised by
the possibility of time travel. This volume explores a wide-range
of puzzles such as the grandfather paradox, the bootstrapping
paradox, and the twin paradox of special relativity. Ryan Wasserman
draws out their implications for our understanding of time, tense,
freedom, fatalism, causation, counterfactuals, laws of nature,
persistence, change, and mereology. Paradoxes of Time Travel is
written in an accessible style, and filled with entertaining
examples from physics, science fiction, and popular culture.
