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 book carries on the work of The Structure of Metaphysics and Studies in Metaphilosophy. Setting out to construct a hypothesis which would explain both the nonexistence of stable results in one of the oldest of the intellectual disciplines, this title then applies the hypothesis to basic and representative problems in the major branches of philosophy. Lazerowitz describes the constant motivation of this book as 'to improve our understanding of philosophy; an enigmatic, if time-honoured, subject'.
