Review
'This textbook does remarkably well at combining breadth with depth, and
accessibility with rigor. It covers every major issue debated in metaphysics
today; it is clear and careful; it avoids taking sides. The writing style is
decidedly engaging and at times amusing - if the book were not being so
clear about such confusing matters, one would almost say that it is fun to
read.' Crawford L. Elder, University of Connecticut

Book Description
What makes it the case that one event causes another event? What are
material objects? What makes it the case that a person may exist at two
different times? This engaging and well-written introduction makes these
questions tractable by presenting the features and flaws of current attempts
to answer them.

"This excellent collection of essays by 23 leading scholars explores the

history of Jewish philosophy from antiquity (Philo) to the early modern
period (Spinoza). Emphasis is on the golden age of medieval Jewish thought,
with its interplay within rabbinic textual traditions and in the context of its
intellectual background of Greek and Arabic thought. Distinguishing it from
similar guides is its thematic orientation organized according to philsophic
categories, e.g., metaphysics, epistemology, and political philosophy...Highly
recommended."
