An exposition and defense of a controversial branch of philosophy. This clear and well-reasoned book provides a concise introduction to a branch of philosophy that has seen a resurgence of interest in recent years. It is Professor Walsh's conviction that metaphysical literature has a fascination and importance insufficiently appreciated by philosophers in the last half-century and that the writings of the great metaphysicians-Plato, Aristotle, St. Thomas Aquinas, Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Hegel-deserve constant re-examination. Here, the author sets out to make a fair assessment of metaphysics by presenting both the theories of its philosophers and the views of its critics.
