METAPHYSICS: CLASSIC & CONTEMPORARY RDGS

by Ronald C. Hoy, L. Nathan Oaklander

The text contains both classic and contemporary readings so that professors can ground the study of contemporary views by exposing students to the traditional theories that serve as a backdrop to modern development. The text focuses on five topics that have high student interest, as well as historical and systematic importance in the development of general metaphysical positions: time, identity, mind, freedom, and reality. By focusing on the development of metaphysical views in five areas, the text avoids the superficiality of a smorgasbord approach.
