Summary The ideas of David (D.M.) Armstrong have helped shapecontemporary metaphysics and philosophy of mind. Thisbook is the first to offer an introduction to the full range ofArmstrong¿s thought. In a fair and dispassionate accountStephen Mumford examines in depth Armstrong¿s development of a core metaphysical programme consistent with a scientific view of the natural world. Although chiefly expository, Mumford¿s examination draws attention to areas ofweakness within Armstrong¿s account and highlights issues about which there is room for further debate
