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.

· 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

此书胶状本质量成问题,十有八九会散架
评分Loux一如既往的清晰可读。基本主要的形而上学内容都顾及到了,就是自然律和倾向属性没涉及。共相问题讲的有点多了,想塞点私货就塞吧,毕竟大家都不容易。读这种书还是挺享受的
评分认真看的好像只有唯名论实在论章节,其他有些简略啦
评分非常好的分析哲学的形而上学方向的入门书,可配套Oxford handbook来读。
评分17年4月22日标记的想读,如今有一年了~刚好多了一个月。终于读完了,也是刚好一个月的时间,此间也是颇为曲折…后半部分并没有很用心,有一章甚至没读完。比较喜欢的有可能世界理论(transworld identity), Aristotelian substances, inscrutability of reference, Hume’s account of causation. 还以为会感兴趣时间本体论,结果也只是一般般。最后一章比较难
