Rezensionen

"If you want to find out what's going on at the leading edge ofcurrent metaphysics, there is no better place to look than thisvolume of new essays by some of the most original and productiveminds now working in this field. The topics they discuss range farand wide, encompassing many central issues of metaphysics such ascausation, time, the self, events, ontological categories, and therelation between physics and metaphysics. This book is not only a'guide' to metaphysics but also includes substantial newcontributions to the field." Jaegwon Kim, Brown University
