  <description><![CDATA[Lowe argues in this fascinating new study that metaphysics should be restored to centrality in philosophy, as the most fundamental form of inquiry, whose findings underpin those of all other disciplines. He portrays metaphysics as charting the possibilities of existence, by identifying the<br/>categories of being and the relations between them. He then sets out his own metaphysical system, with which he seeks to answer many of the most vexed questions in philosophy.]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[The first chapter is an excellent exposition on the important role analytic metaphysics has to play in philosophy. The rest of the chapters are a departure from this in that they are hodgepodge of other topics in metaphysics.<br/><br/>Good overall, though a bit disjointed.]]></body>
