“This is an incredibly good collection of original papers
about the central problems of metaphysics. I will certainly use the
book as a text in my yearly introductory graduate seminar on
metaphysics."
Peter Van Inwagen, University of Notre Dame
“Until now we've had to choose between traditional texts,
where the author pretends to be arguing with him/herself, and
anthologies, where the reader pretends the authors are arguing with
each other. This book has genuine focussed exchange between some of
the best metaphysicians around. The introduction by Sider is a gem.
What a great way to learn metaphysics.”
Prof. Stephen Yablo, MIT
“What might one want in a contemporary metaphysics reader?
There are plenty of volumes that reprint the 20th century
precursors to current debates; no need for another one of those.
What would be great is a collection of first-rate essays by leading
philosophers which effectively engage the most important issues in
the field and give attention not only to the substantive debates
but the meta-philosophical questions such as: what is metaphysics
and how is it possible? And now we have it: Contemporary Debates
in Metaphysics does it all.”
Sally Haslanger, MIT
“Written with philosophical sophistication … .Rewarding and valuable … .Teaching papers … .It would make a fine … and useful resource for the professional philosopher.” Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
