Metaphysics : An Introduction, Paperback by Tallant, Jonathan, ISBN 135000670X, ISBN-13 9781350006706, Brand New, Free P&P in the UKTallant introduces metaphysics within the framework of seeking or providing truth-making for true propositions, but warns students that truth-making as a philosophical theory is both recent (1984) and contentious. Nevertheless, he presents metaphysical issues as dependent on truth-making, first because it allows a unified account with a constant theme running through it, and second because he highly suspects that something very much like truth-making has underpinned much metaphysical thinking, both during the last hundred years or so and much earlier. After an introduction to truth-making, he covers the special composition question, abstract objects, modality, properties, substratum and other theories, time, persistence, causation, and truth-making reconsidered.
