This book provides an introduction to metaphysics.
'The work is a joy to read in that to read it is to be, so to speak, reminded of connections among issues and views in the whole scope of metaphysics, richly illustrated with historical cases. I hope to use the book in an advanced undergraduate course in metaphysics. I recommend it to others. Graduate students especially can get a good picture of the metaphysical landscape by a careful reading of Hamlyn's book.' Teaching Philosophy
