Analytical Metaphysics

Analytical metaphysics arguably constitutes the core curriculum of any philosophy program, standing at the center of the philosophies of ethics, epistemiology, science and mathematics, mind/brain, and other avenues of philosophical inquiry. With this in mind, Analytical Metaphysics serves as a single convenient resource to many of the most important and influential recent articles that have been written on metaphysical questions. Each volume focuses on topics that arise within metaphysics itself, as these usually involve the most fundamental ontological issues. Topics covered in this series include: the nature of particulars, identity over time, competing theories of properties, the metaphysics of necessity and possibility, the nature of laws, and of causation, and the nature of time, and its relation to both causation and change.
