Presenting an effective syllabus for an introductory course in contemporary metaphysics, this companion brings together a team of leading metaphysicians.

Recenzii

The annotated bibliographies are divided by chapter and are very helpful. The research guide includes resources for entering the field, including blogs, encyclopedias, anthologies, and more. The index of key terms is also invaluable for students trying to enter into this often-obscure field . This is the kind of companion I would actually read cover to cover.
This is a companion to recent and current analytic metaphysics. Each article is clear, comprehensive, accurate, and informative. An annotated bibliography describes cutting-edge publications in each area. Also featured are a research guide to Internet and print resources in analytic metaphysics, a glossary, and a thorough index. This volume rivals or exceeds in usefulness similar volumes published by Oxford, Routledge, and Wiley-Blackwell. Highly recommended.
