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

非常好的分析哲学的形而上学方向的入门书,可配套Oxford handbook来读。
评分好吧,好久前标记了。最有兴趣然后拿了课程第一名。仍然,按图索骥。
评分唯名论实在论部分写的相当不错,最后一章关于实在论与反实在论的论争也不错,其他的时间理论,模态理论,因果性神马的就太简略了吼吼吼
评分原以为形而上学是门不着边际、空中楼阁般的学问,读完才发现,其所探讨的问题恰恰是最接地气的:什么是变化,什么是因果,什么是时间,时间如何变化,何为人,何为可能…… 作为入门级介绍,这本小书很好地带领读者重新审视我们自以为熟悉的世界与观念。
评分这是非常经典的教材无疑。但我依然不能get他们的点。。。
