Description
Understanding our everyday assumptions about reality is essential to making sense of the world around us. John Heil's exploration of metaphysics delves into the fundamental questions that underpin human experience, from the nature of time and appearance to the relationship between effect and cause.
Through a range of examples drawn from art, science, and daily life, Heil examines how our everyday assumptions shape our understanding of reality. This accessible book provides an introduction to the major topics in metaphysics, including free will, consciousness, and objectivity, and shows how these questions have a profound impact on everything we do.
Heil's approach makes metaphysics more than just a subject for professional philosophers - it is a way of understanding our world that everyone can engage with. This book provides a clear and concise overview of the key concepts in metaphysics, making it an ideal introduction to this fascinating field of study.
