## Description

Metaphysics: A Contemporary Introduction is for students who have already completed an introductory philosophy course and need a fresh look at the central topics in the core subject of metaphysics. It is essential reading for any student of the subject. This Fourth Edition is revised and updated and includes two new chapters on (1) Parts and Wholes, and (2) Metaphysical Indeterminacy or vagueness. This new edition also keeps the user-friendly format, the chapter overviews summarizing the main topics, concrete examples to clarify difficult concepts, annotated further reading at the end of each chapter, endnotes, and a full bibliography.
Topics addressed include:
the problem of universals
the nature of abstract entities
the problem of individuation
the nature of modality
identity through time
the nature of time
the nature of parts and wholes
the problem of metaphysical indeterminacy
the Realism/anti-Realism debate.
Wherever possible, Michael J. Loux and Thomas M. Crisp relate contemporary views to their classical sources in the history of philosophy. As experienced teachers of philosophy and important contributors to recent debates, Loux and Crisp are uniquely qualified to write this book.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ Better choices available out there
*by  on Reviewed in the United States January 17, 2026*

The author has extremely poor writing skills. The book has a bland writing style. Poor sentencing structure, poor vocabulary, and dross choice of defining things clearly. It feels like the author is just typing down whatever comes to his mind instead of carefully choosing the best way of conveying his message. The book had a sticker on the first external cover. I don't know why it was on the cover instead of at the end page of the cover. The pages are low quality, the print is bad, there's ink all over and the size of the book is small. Not worth the money.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A bit difficult to follow
*by  on Reviewed in the United States May 3, 2020*

I read it after reading Joseph Owens. Michael Loux is not as good a writer as Owens. Otherwise, the book itself is good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bueno
