Reading Metaphysics: Selected Texts with Interactive Commentary moreCo-authored/edited with Julian Dodd
This book does what it says on the tin. The basic aim is to try and get students to actually think about what they're reading by asking them questions about it. It makes a good basis for seminar discussions, or at least that's what I use it for. The topics and authors are:
Personal identity (Parfit, Schechtman) Free will (van Inwagen, Dennett) Realism & anti-realism (Davidson, Nagel) Realism & nominalism (Devitt, Armstrong) Possible worlds (Lewis, Kripke) Persistence (Lewis, Haslanger) |
