Tim Maudlin is Professor of Philosophy at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.
`Review from previous edition This is an elegantly written and
enormously stimulating book. It is full of original, provocative,
philosophical argumentation. Maudlin shows by example what it is to
do the best kind of naturalized metaphysics: one based on thorough
acquaintance with real science, but unwilling to accept a
superficial analysis of how it bears on deep philosophical
problems. Every metaphysician should read it and emulate Maudlin's
method, even
when disagreeing with his conclusions.'
Richard Healey, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
