Metaphysics is one of the traditional four main branches of philosophy, alongside ethics, logic and epistemology. It is also an area that continues to attract and hold a fascination for many people yet it is associated with being complex and abstract. For some it is associated with the mystical or religious. For others it is known through the metaphysical poets who talk of love and spirituality. This Very Short Introduction goes right to the heart of the matter, getting to the basic and most important questions of metaphysical thought in order to understand the theory: What are objects? Do colours and shapes have some form of existence? What is it for one thing to cause another rather than just being associated with it? What is possible? Does time pass? By using these questions to initiate thought about the basic issues around substance, properties, changes, causes, possibilities, time, personal identity, nothingness and emergentism, Stephen Mumford provides a clear and simple path through this analytical tradition at the core of philosophical thought.
Stephen Mumford is Professor of Metaphysics at the Department of Philosophy, University of Nottingham. He is also Head of the School of Humanities and Dean of the Faculty of Arts. He has written many papers and books in metaphysics, including a number of more popular works intended for a non-specialist audience including articles in "Times Higher Education magazine", encyclopaedias, and magazines. His most famous book is "Dispositions" (Oxford, 1998) but he also authored "Laws in Nature" (Routledge, 2004), "Getting Causes from Powers" (with Rani Lill Anjum, Oxford, 2011) and "Watching Sport: Aesthetics, Ethics and Emotions" (Routledge, 2011). He is a frequent public speaker at both academic conferences and more popular events and has delivered talks in around 30 countries.
把我引進形而上學的一本書,說人話,親測好讀!????
評分Metaphysics的翻譯取自《易經》“形而上者謂之道,形而下者謂之器”,這個日本人的經典意譯讓人不得不膜拜。西哲形而上研究的問題範圍和東方人研究的內容乍看之下沒什麼兩樣,但我一直納悶洋人腦子裏怎麼冒齣這些問題來的(形成的背景)?東方的形而上類哲學問題是在實踐上建立起來的,且在各自體係裏發揮著不可或缺的作用,而西哲的形而上學感覺就是純粹的腦洞大開,無助於生産生活啊而且還annoying(神煩)啊~雖然作者最後一章做瞭些辯護但是在我看來有點蒼白無力。如果亞裏士多德當年能到印度和中國來參訪大德老道,我想這個學科一定不會像現在這樣被貶為枯燥乏味的無用之學吧。
評分重要的不是答案,而是問題和思路。畢竟是為瞭探究自然的本質。

評分哲學是智慧的搖擺,建議哲學傢對科學盡量不要保持一種一知半解又喜歡指點一二的態度
