Twenty-four of the world's most distinguished specialists provid... brand-new essays about 'what there is': what kinds of things there are, and what relationshold among entities falling under various categories. They give the latest word on such topics as identity, modality, time, causation, persons and minds, freedom, and vagueness. The Handbook's unrivaled breadth and depth make it the definitive reference work for students and academics across thephilosophical spectrum. show more |
