Much of the most interesting work in philosophy today is metaphysical in character. Oxford Studies in Metaphysics is a forum for the best new work in this flourishing field. OSM offers a broad view of the subject, featuring not only the traditionally central topics such as existence, identity, modality, time, and causation, but also the rich clusters of metaphysical questions in neighbouring fields, such as philosophy of mind and philosophy of science. Besides independent essays, volumes will often contain a critical essay on a recent book, or a symposium that allows participants to respond to one another's criticisms and questions. Anyone who wants to know what's happening in metaphysics can start here.
This volume investigates the current state of metaphysical inquiry by presenting a collection of peer-reviewed essays that address fundamental questions regarding the nature of reality. Editors Karen Bennett and Dean W. Zimmerman curate this selection to highlight contemporary advancements in the field, drawing upon rigorous analytical frameworks. The volume serves as a scholarly platform for exploring complex ontological problems while integrating perspectives from related disciplines such as the philosophy of mind and the philosophy of science.
