Reviews
Heil's analytically rigorous yet nondogmatic treatment of the subject deserves careful study. * L. B. McHenry, CHOICE *
the book is an enquiry that reaches beyond the universe as we find it, and even beyond the universe as our best discoveries and scientific theories say it is * Barry Stroud, Times Literary Supplement *
...is masterful. It is a paradigmatic example of serious ontology. It is clearly argued, full of insights, and provocative. The list of topics covered is just impressive... * Javier Cumpa, Metascience *
The book is a pleasure to read, fun and provocative, and the historical breadth of the discussion is a welcome contrast to much in contemporary metaphysics. I highly recommend it. * Alyssa Ney, British Journal of Philosophy of Science *
