Contemporary Debates in Metaphysics

Edited by John Hawthorne, Theodore Sider, and Dean W. Zimmerman.

This anthology (Blackwell Publishing, 2007) introduces advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students to today's debates in metaphysics. The essays are by leading contemporary figures, and all but one appear here for the first time. For each of nine topics, there are two essays, one "pro-" and one "con-", to help students jump into the thick of these lively and ongoing debates.
