Description
An Introduction to Metaphysics by John W. Carroll and Ned Markosian is a comprehensive guide to the central themes of contemporary metaphysics.
This accessible text carefully considers key philosophical questions, including causation, freedom and determinism, laws of nature, personal identity, mental states, time, material objects, and properties.
By presenting the features and flaws of current attempts to answer these tough questions, this book makes metaphysical problems tractable for students and anyone interested in exploring this important area of philosophy.
