Integrates historical and modern readings to explore age-old metaphysical questions about existence, being, and morality while connecting classical ideas with contemporary debates. Invites inquiry into how science, technology, and even artificial intelligence reshape our understanding of reality and consciousness.
Conversations in Metaphysics: Ever Ancient, Ever New introduces students to metaphysics through a set of contemporary readings based on classical metaphysical texts, thinkers, and concepts. It challenges readers to consider and seek possible answers to questions of metaphysics relative to human knowledge and the nature of reality.
Organized historically, the readings endeavor to define and probe the concepts of metaphysics, existence, being, God, evil, and morality from antiquity to the present. The historical lens provides students with deeper context for the contemporary readings and helps them establish a basic knowledge of metaphysics and its place within philosophical tradition. In later readings, students are invited to explore how metaphysics relates to religion, science, and technology in the modern world, as well as how metaphysics has shaped and continues to shape the reality of our universe.
The revised first edition addresses new questions, such as what is consciousness and how, if at all, is consciousness related to artificial intelligence (AI) and the metaverse?
Rich with engaging material and endless opportunities for critical thought, Conversations in Metaphysics is an ideal ancillary text for courses in philosophy that call attention to metaphysics and philosophy of religion.
