Description - Real Metaphysics by Hallvard Lillehammer
Does time flow? Do the past and future exist? What are facts? What is causation? Do truths have truthmakers? If so, what are they? The papers in this collection offer new answers to these fundamental - and controversial - questions, which have preoccupied Hugh Mellor, one of the outstanding metaphysicians of our time and author of titles including The Matters of Chance (1971),Matters of Metaphysics (1991) and The Facts of Causation (Routledge 1995). Real Metaphysics brings together new articles by leading metaphysicians to honour Mellor's outstanding contribution to metaphysics. Some of the most outstanding minds of current times shed new light on all the main topics in metaphysics: truth, causation, dispositions and properties, explanation, and time. At the end of the book, Hugh Mellor responds to the issues raised by each of the thirteen contributors and gives us new insight into his own highly influential work on metaphysics. Real Metaphysics stands as a highly original exploration and assessment of some of the most central issues in metaphysics and will make fascinating reading for anyone interested in contemporary philosophy.
