Major introduction to metaphysics that integrates perennial topics such as ontology, time and free will with new ones such as critiques of metaphysics and social ontology
Aimed at those coming to metaphysics for the first time: no prior knowledge of philosophy or metaphysics is required
Packed with additional features such as chapter summaries, annotated further reading, glossary and companion website - all of which are updated for the second edition
Second edition includes more on social metaphysics and the topics of fundamentality and grounding - in response to reviewer feedback of the first edition
Competing textbooks cover a narrower range of topics, are out of date, or contain too much of the author's own views: our book is the most comprehensive and up to date introduction on the market.
No competitor covers social metaphysics as thoroughly as our book, or introduces students to basic logic needed for metaphysics (this is optional).
