a virtuoso display of Lewis-style reasoning of the very highest order ... This is a fine collection of essays and makes essential reading for anyone currently engaged in analytic metaphysics.
E.J. Lowe, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
John Hawthorne is widely regarded as one of the finest philosophers working today. He is perhaps best known for his contributions to metaphysics, and this volume collects his most notable papers in this field. Hawthorne offers original treatments of fundamental topics in philosophy, including identity, ontology, vagueness, and causation. Six of the essays appear here for the first time, and there is a valuable introduction to guide the reader through the selection.
