Metaphysics is sometimes defined as the branch of philosophy that addresses fundamental questions about the nature of reality. In this course we will consider five main topics: (1) causation, (2) freedom and determinism, (3) personal identity, (4) time, and (5) material objects. The aim of the course will be to educate students about some of the main issues, theses, and arguments concerning these topics, so that the students may arrive at their own considered opinions on these matters.
