Critics Review

“Koons and Pickavance disclose uncommon and provocative insights regarding the role of Hirschian Exotic Objects in the perdurantism debate, and Powerist objections to the possibility of time travel, without swamping the reader in backstory …. In conclusion, Metaphysics: The Fundamentals provides a compendium of sources and tricky examples for any researcher seeking familiarization with a range of debates.”
—Nicholas Danne (Metaphysica 2017; 18(1): 151-154)
