Michael J. Loux is the George Schuster Professor of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame University. He is the editor of Metaphysics: Contemporary Readings (Routledge 2002).
Metaphysics: A Contemporary Introduction is for students who have already done an introductory philosophy course. Michael J. Loux provides a fresh look at the central topics in metaphysics, making this essential reading for any student of the subject. This third edition is revised and updated and includes two new chapters on Time and Causation.
Topics addressed include:
· the problem of universals
· the nature of abstract entities
· the problem of individuation
· the nature of modality
· identity through time
· the nature of time
· the Realism/anti-Realism debate
Wherever possible, Michael J. Loux relates contemporary views to their classical sources in the history of philosophy. As an experienced teacher of philosophy and an important contributor to recent debates, Loux is uniquely qualified to write this book.
· the third edition retains the student -friendly features of previous editions:
· chapter overviews summarizing the main topics of study
· examples to clarify difficult concepts annotated further reading at the end of each chapter
· endnotes and a full bibliography

舒服。有时候还会经常回到这本来完善宏观视野。
评分这是非常经典的教材无疑。但我依然不能get他们的点。。。
评分很久以前看过,对UP问题的处理极为细致,环环相扣,其他部分相比之下都有些弱化了。但是我总觉得不能通过这本书真的理解UP问题,因为里面缺乏一种能将其放进颇为广阔的科学语境中的洞见。接下来打算看Armstrong的Universals:An opinionated Introduction
评分长飞途中读完的。阐述得很清晰,循序渐进,当入门不错。感谢苏莱曼君推荐。
