?This is a resource no metaphysician in the Anglo-Americantradition will want to do without. Summing Up: Essential.?(CHOICE, October 2009)Almost since it first came into print, I have used the firstedition of Metaphysics: An Anthology in upper levelundergraduate metaphysics courses. I also use it whenever I teach agraduate survey of metaphysics. The second edition is not just new,but new and improved. And I intend to use it in future metaphysicscourses. -Trenton Merricks, University of Virginia A thorough compilation of essential readings. Anyone seriouslyinterested in contemporary analytic metaphysics needs to know thesepieces. The nicely updated second edition adds papers foundationalto the next generation of metaphysical research. -Mark Heller, Syracuse University The second edition of Metaphysics: AnAnthology is a splendid update of thealready-excellent first edition. Thirty new articles by well-knownyounger philosophers join recent classics to bring thiscomprehensive collection right up to the moment. -Lynne Rudder Baker, University of Massachusetts - Amherst An outstanding collection of classic to contemporary essays onsome of the most interesting topics in metaphysics. It wouldprovide a great basis for an upper-level undergraduate or graduatecourse in metaphysics. -Amie Thommasson, University of Miami
