[Karl Hallbjörnsson · Rating 3 out of 5]

A selection of varied texts on modern metaphysics. Including, but not limited to: Peter van Inwagen, Daniel Dennett, Marya Schechtman, Donald Davidson, David Lewis and Saul Kripke. Includes textual exegesis and commentary at the end of each paper, as well as helpful essay questions pertaining to the texts. It's a very methodologically informative introduction to modern metaphysics, jam-packed with interesting thoughts by interesting thinkers.
