What makes a person the same over time? Do causes really cause anything? Is the world made of matter, mind, structure, information, or something even less convenient? Why do philosophers keep inventing systems that promise to explain everything, and why do those systems keep collapsing, mutating, or coming back under better branding?\u003cbr\u003eThis book guides the reader through the main questions, arguments, and traditions of metaphysics in plain English, without pretending the subject is simpler than it is. It explains the central concepts, the major schools, and the most important thinkers from the ancient world to contemporary debates about consciousness, time, possibility, science, AI, and digital identity. Along the way it compares rival views, shows what each gets right and wrong, and keeps a healthy eye on philosophy's recurring talent for both insight and overreach.\u003cbr\u003eFor readers interested in philosophy, ideas, reality, and the strange durability of questions that never quite go away.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47968514539671,"sku":"9798199725804","price":1024.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798199725804.webp?v=1782918349","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/making-sense-of-metaphysics-a-simple-guide-to-reality-9798199725804","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
