Synopsis
This book is an introductory text for a beginner's study in philosophy—more specifically, metaphysics, which is the foundational science of reality. The author's approach is pluralist and scientific, with three main sections to the text. The first part defines the subject and introduces basic terminology. The second part explores fundamental philosophical hypotheses, including the nature of causality and the mind-body problem. The last part of the book provides a brief survey of the most prominent metaphysical hypotheses within the special sciences. The author includes a valuable introduction to some of the most essential thinkers in history to provide historical context for the development of philosophical concepts. This volume enables novices to embark on a course of study in metaphysics, benefiting from the author's clear and precise exposition of complex philosophical issues.
