This book provides an introduction to metaphysics. At the outset Professor Hamlyn distinguishes two conceptions of metaphysics running through the history of the subject. One, which goes back to Aristotle, is concerned with ontology, and with what has to exist for beings such as we are; the other separates appearance and reality and attempts to establish what really exists. Professor Hamlyn's account of metaphysics conforms with the first tradition. This is not, however, primarily a historical exposition. The discussion concentrates on central metaphysical concepts and problems, including the principles of ontology, substance, particulars and universals, monism and pluralism, space and time, minds, selves and personal identity. Throughout, Professor Hamlyn's thoroughly informed and argued consideration of the topics presents both a persuasive view of the subject and an excellent grounding in it.

Industry Reviews

'The work is a joy to read in that to read it is to be, so to speak, reminded of connections among issues and views in the whole scope of metaphysics, richly illustrated with historical cases. I hope to use the book in an advanced undergraduate course in metaphysics. I recommend it to others. Graduate students especially can get a good picture of the metaphysical landscape by a careful reading of Hamlyn's book.' Teaching Philosophy
