Metaphysics
Metaphysics: A contemporary introduction is for students who have already done
an introductory philosophy course. Michael J. Loux provides a fresh look
at the central topics in metaphysics, making this essential reading for any
student of the subject. This third edition is revised and updated and includes
two new chapters on Time and Causation.
Topics addressed include:
•
the problem of
universais
•
the nature of abstract entities
•
the problem of individuation
•
the nature of modality
•
identity through time
•
the nature of time
•
the Realism/anti-Realism debate
Wherever possible, Michael J. Loux relates contemporary views to their
classical sources in the history of philosophy. As an experienced teacher of
philosophy and an important contributor to recent debates, Loux is uniquely
qualified to write this book.
The third edition retains the student-friendly features of previous editions:
•
chapter overviews summarizing the main topics of study
•
examples to clarify difficult concepts
•
annotated further reading at the end of each chapter
•
endnotes and a full bibliography
Michael J. Loux is Shuster Professor of Philosophy at the University of
Notre Dame. He is also editor of Metaphysics: Contemporary Readings, designed
to accompany this textbook and also published by Routledge. His book
Substance and Attribute
(1978)
is one of the major metaphysics books of recent
years.
