This essential core text introduces readers to metaphysics. In thoughtful and engaging prose, Peter van Inwagen examines three profound questions: What are the most general features of the world? Why is there a world? And, what is the place of human beings in the world? The third edition includes an entirely new chapter on ontology. The new chapter presents a theory of the nature of being and proceeds to apply this theory to two problems of ontology: the problem of non-existent objects and the problem of universals. Equally valuable as a textbook in a university course or an introduction to metaphysical thinking for the interested layperson, Metaphysics remains a fascinating book for a wide range of readers, from first-time students to the most sophisticated philosophers.

評分这本书就内容而言相當不错。书中序言和第一章详细介绍何为形而上学,后面分章节讲述形上学最重要的一些问题。作者对每个问题均给出多种正反观点与论证,并以尽可能公正的态度进行对比、评析;往来交锋中,精彩內容俯拾即是。总之,内容能给5颗星。 但是不得不说本书的翻译实在...
評分近日在看一本今人写的教材《形而上学》,在其中讨论的诸多问题之外蹦出一个问题来:什么是理性? 是的,形而上学讨论根本的存在。相当多的形而上学问题中都有“理性”这个字眼。关于理性存在物的,关于宇宙是否是被理性地创造的。理性未加省视地被赋予了褒义,成为一种高级的...

這本書寫得很好笑啊,為什麼大傢這麼嚴肅。然而輕鬆幽默也是有代價的,有些論證並沒有說服力。
