This book discusses the philosophy of influential contemporary philosopher Peter van Inwagen.
Looking at perennial philosophical problems from a modern point of view Peter van Inwagen's
philosophy masterfully combines positions that have been considered irreconcilable:
incompatibilism concerning free will materialism organicism theism and realism concerning
fictional entities. As readers will discover his arguments are witty surprising and deep. The
book includes Peter van Inwagen's Münster Lecture of 2015 on free will as well as eleven
papers from the Münster colloquium discussing central themes of his philosophy and a reply to
each paper by Peter van Inwagen himself. Introducing his philosophy and relating his work to
other contemporary views this book is of interest to graduate students and professionals in
philosophy alike.
