Metaphysics and Epistemology: A Guided Anthology presents a comprehensive introductory overview of key themes, thinkers, and issues relating to metaphysics and epistemology. Balancing classic with contemporary readings from centuries of philosophical reflection on reality and knowledge, carefully edited selections focus on essential elements of each concept and argument. Themes explored include philosophical ideas on the basic nature of the world and of ourselves, on the underlying nature of knowledge, and on fundamental ways we may—or may not—gain knowledge. Phenomena discussed include the physical world, causation, minds, properties, truth, persons, God, free will, fate, evidence, belief, observation, innateness, reason, doubt, fallibility, and more. Provocative and influential ideas from the annals of philosophy are brought sharply into focus through succinct excerpts by great thinkers ranging from Plato and Aristotle to Descartes, Kant, and Russell. Accessible and authoritative, Metaphysics and Epistemology: A Guided Anthology offers illuminating insights into the origins, development, and core ideas relating to the universal philosophical pursuit of the nature of knowledge and of reality.

Review

“This is an excellent anthology. It combines a wide range of readings on the central and lasting questions of metaphysics and epistemology. The selections are imaginative and in many cases unusual, and Stephen Hetherington introduces each reading with a lucid and lively introduction. Highly recommended!”

—Tim Crane, University of Cambridge

"This comprehensive and creatively chosen anthology provides an excellent coverage of epistemological and metaphysical topics, from both historical and contemporary perspectives. It is highly recommended."

—Duncan Pritchard, University of Edinburgh
