- The latest and best research in this core field of philosophy
- Edited by a leading figure in the field
- State-of-the-art contributions from leaders in the field
Oxford Studies in Metaphysics is the forum for the best new work in this flourishing field. Much of the most interesting work in philosophy today is metaphysical in character: this series is a much-needed focus for it. OSM offers a broad view of the subject, featuring not only the traditionally central topics such as existence, identity, modality, time, and causation, but also the rich clusters of metaphysical questions in neighbouring fields, such as philosophy of mind and philosophy of science. Besides independent essays, volumes will often contain a critical essay on a recent book, or a symposium that allows participants to respond to one another's criticisms and questions. This fifth volume is largely focused on the metaphysics of time, with sections
on time travel; persistence through time; and time, space, and location. The final section of the volume is devoted to a neglected topic that is starting to attract philosophical attention: the metaphysics of sounds. Anyone who wants to know what's happening in metaphysics can start here.Readership: Scholars and students of metaphysics and related fields of philosophy.

"does great work in rejuvenating philosophical debate, bringing to the attention of the wider field work done in debates that are too often in danger of being pursued in separate ivory towers, and indeed, engaging with disciplines beyond philosophy" - Graeme A. Forbes, Analysis Reviews
