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

非常好的入門教材!寫作十分為讀者著想
评分長飛途中讀完的。闡述得很清晰,循序漸進,當入門不錯。感謝蘇萊曼君推薦。
评分此書膠狀本質量成問題,十有八九會散架
评分原以為形而上學是門不著邊際、空中樓閣般的學問,讀完纔發現,其所探討的問題恰恰是最接地氣的:什麼是變化,什麼是因果,什麼是時間,時間如何變化,何為人,何為可能…… 作為入門級介紹,這本小書很好地帶領讀者重新審視我們自以為熟悉的世界與觀念。
评分17年4月22日標記的想讀,如今有一年瞭~剛好多瞭一個月。終於讀完瞭,也是剛好一個月的時間,此間也是頗為麯摺…後半部分並沒有很用心,有一章甚至沒讀完。比較喜歡的有可能世界理論(transworld identity), Aristotelian substances, inscrutability of reference, Hume’s account of causation. 還以為會感興趣時間本體論,結果也隻是一般般。最後一章比較難
