Description:
This book is an investigation into metaphysics: its aims, scope, methodology and practice. Dyke argues that metaphysics should (and on the whole does) take itself to be concerned with investigating the fundamental nature of reality, and suggests that the ontological significance of language has been grossly exaggerated in the pursuit of that aim.
Review Quotes:
"Dyke's book is very rich. While primarily devoted to reflections on the methodology of metaphysics, it also deals with many specific metaphysical issues." -- Matti Eklund, Cornell University
