Riddles of Existence
A Guided Tour of Metaphysics
The questions of metaphysics are among the deepest and most
puzzling. What is time? Am I free in my actions? What makes me
the same person I was as a child? Why is there something rather
than nothing?
Riddles of Existence makes metaphysics genuinely accessible,
even fun. Its lively, informal style brings the riddles to life and
shows how stimulating they can be to think about. No philo¬
sophical background is required to enjoy this book. It is ideal for
beginning students. Anyone -wanting to think about life s most
profound questions will find Riddles of Existence provocative and
entertaining.
Earl Conee is Professor of Philosophy at the University of
Rochester, New York.
Theodore Sider is Professor of Philosophy at New York University.
