Description
Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that deals with the question of existence and the nature of reality. Reprinted here are seventeen texts offering a broad range of different perspectives. Included are Henri Bergson's important book, Time and Free Will, in which he makes a distinction between the concept and the experience of time; Appearance and Reality which expresses Francis Herbert Bradley's central work in idealist metaphysics; and Brand Blanshard's writing on Reason and Analysis marking the fruition of his 1959 Carus lectures before the American Philosophical Association.

Description
First published in 2002. This is Volume IV of seventeen in the Library of Philosophy series on Metaphysics. Written in 1968, this is a collection of essays on the topic of looking at the key question of not whether linguistic analysis has a valuable function in philosophy-that has already been settled, but rather as to the precise nature and extent of its profitable employment in solving specific problems.
