Introduction
In Ways a world might be: metaphysical and anti-metaphysical essays. New York: Oxford University Press. pp. 1-22 (2003)
Abstract
This introductory chapter presents an overview of the papers included in this book. The author begins with a discussion on what metaphysics is. He observes recurring themes in his papers that echo the philosophies of W.V. Quine and David Lewis, and cites a mix of agreements and disagreements between Lewis and himself on both substantive and methological issues.Author's Profile
