摘要:This book brings arguments for metaphysical realism,and its aspiration appears to be to make them knock-down. Sider tries to convince the reader that we can identify the structure of the world; he believes that we can reach the access to its fundamental level if we adopt a modified version of David Lewis’s theory of naturalness. Such a high aspiration may easily lead to a deep disappointment. The present book,fortunately,is not deeply disappointing,though,unfortunately,I would not say it is so persuasive as to live up to its aspirations.
