Rezensionen

"Rea improves upon the already excellent first edition with helpful expansions and reorganizations of original topics and the welcome addition of new ones. The result is a broad and accurate survey of the state of the art in metaphysics, presented in a clear, engaging, and thoughtful manner. A terrific resource for students, or anyone else, interested in contemporary metaphysics." - Michael J. Raven, University of Victoria, Canada
