Introduction to Metaphysics

A clear, solid and succinct textbook in metaphysics, An Introduction to Metaphysics, which was first published in 1963, begins with a chapter on the existence of all things (including ourselves) and then proceeds to discuss the subjects of changing existents; participating, multiple existents; efficient causes; final and exemplary causes; the Primary Cause; the transcendental properties; categories of limited being; and the analogy of being.
