Doing Metaphysics in a Diverse World

The erudite, open-minded and thoughtful essays in this volume are a compelling read. They make the case for metaphysics as a way that people make sense of the world, and dialogue within and across different philosophical traditions as the best way to pursue that project. * Melissa Lane, Professor of Politics, Princeton University, USA *The collaborative product of discussions among philosophers and historians of ideas over several years, this volume is a rich treasury of comparative philosophy that amply testifies both to human beings’ shared ambitions to understand their world and themselves and to a striking diversity among their attempts to realise these ambitions. * David Cooper, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, Durham University, UK *Doing Metaphysics in a Diverse World offers a wonderful cacophony of voices from different philosophical traditions. It draws on voices across time and place to help us make sense of our world now. Yet, it thoughtfully resists unifying them, instead embracing the complexities that make us human. * Karyn Lai, Professor of Philosophy, The University of New South Wales, Australia *
