Reviews for Introduction to Metaphysics: From Parmenides to Levinas
What makes this book an excellent introduction to metaphysics is its lucid and subtle account of the different versions of 'metaphysics' we encounter within our tradition. In other words, it is an excellent introduction not only to metaphysics in general but also to Parmenides, Aristotle, Duns Scotus, Descartes, Schelling, Heidegger, and more.
