David Armstrong is one of the main architects of the current renaissance in metaphysics, so it is very useful to have a concise summary of his latest views... As one might expect, it is a model of clarity and rich in ideas. It certainly satisfies the description "systematic" that appears in its title. Without sacrificing rigour, he has succeeded in making it as accessible as possible to as wide a philosophical audience as possible... it is a pleasure, as always, to wrestle with the deep philosophical questions that Armstrong continues to present us with so vivaciously.

E. J. Lowe, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

David Armstrong sets out his metaphysical system in a set of concise and lively chapters each dealing with one aspect of the world. He begins with the assumption that all that exists is the physical world of space-time. On this foundation he constructs a coherent metaphysical scheme that gives plausible answers to many of the great problems of metaphysics. He gives accounts of properties, relations, and particulars; laws of nature; modality; abstract objects such as numbers; and time and mind.
