In this book a leading meta-physician introduces you to the field of
metaphysics. In metaphysics there are no final
answers and the author doesn’t pretend that there are. Metaphysical speculation is a process, a way of thinking, and it is the goal of this book to teach that process. The book uses such questions as what is the world like and why does it exist, and what is the nature and place of man in that world to examine the most common problems in
metaphysics. In doing this the book touches on such topics as God and
necessary existence, rationality, objectivity, the mind- body problem, ontology, cosmology, teleology and the problem of freedom will. It is not light reading but it does give an overview of the field.
