5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the great books of contemporary metaphysics and mereology,
By
This review is from: A Materialist Metaphysics of the Human Person (Hardcover)
The other review of this book is one of the most disappointing things I have ever seen. It certainly didn't come from a philosopher, and equally certainly not from someone who actually read the book. With regards to the former, would you discount the works of Descartes for similar reasons? As for the latter, the book only briefly mentions Christianity as an aside. It is both an interesting and an important endeavor to reconcile a materialist view of human persons with Christianity, and Hud Hudson does an excellent job!
The other review aside, this is tied with Peter VanInwagen's Material Beings, as far as I'm concerned, in the category of human mereology. Hud's writing is perhaps the clearest and most refreshingly concise I have ever read in the field of metaphysics. His skill with words makes his books a genuine pleasure to read, and his creative and studied mind give the books a depth beyond that mere pleasure.
