Pressezitat
"An up-to-date, well-written text that is both challenging and accessible. I think that the greatest strengths of the book are its science-friendliness and the interweaving of under-represented issues, such as social construction, race, and numbers, with traditionally-favoured topics." - Matthew Slater, Department of Philosophy, Bucknell University, USA "[Metaphysics: An Introduction] is excellent...some very complicated and important work is made accessible to students, without either assuming background knowledge or over-simplifying." - Carrie Ichikawa Jenkins, Department of Philosophy, University of British Columbia, Canada
"Exemplary clarity and concision...The author has presented some difficult material in a light, brisk and appealing style." - Barry Lee, Department of Philosophy, University of York, UK
