Reviews
'Tahko strikes exactly the right balance between introducing substantive metaphysical topics and exploring various metametaphysical considerations of those topics. An Introduction to Metametaphysics would make a splendid textbook for anyone offering an upper level course in metaphysics.' John Heil, Washington University, St Louis
'This is a top-notch study of the metaphysical and epistemic foundations of metaphysics. Anyone interested in contemporary metaphysics and its methodology should read this book.' L. A. Paul, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
'Metametaphysics is a hot and important topic. Tahko's book gives us not only an engaging introduction to the subject, but also an overview that will stimulate and reward the attention of all metaphysicians.' Alexander Bird, University of Bristol
'The book has many virtues: it engages with both contemporary philosophers and topics and their recent predecessors, and gives accurate and succinct descriptions of most of the views under discussion.' Michaela Markham McSweeney, Australasian Journal of Philosophy
