Hud Hudson offers a fascinating examination of philosophical reasons to believe in hyperspace. He explores non-theistic reasons in the first chapter and theistic ones towards the end; in the intervening sections he inquires into a variety of puzzles in the metaphysics of material objects that are either generated by the hypothesis of hyperspace or else informed by it, with discussions of receptacles, boundaries, contact, occupation, and superluminal motion. Anyone engaged with contemporary metaphysics, and many philosophers of religion, will find much to stimulate them here.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
As a contribution to the developing corpus of mereological studies, Hudson's book is stimulating and provocative...If physicists can stretch, nay, bend, our minds, I don't see why the ontologists can't be allowed play that game too. Hudson certainly knows how to play. James G. Murphy Milltown Studies Hudson is a master at making sophisticated work in metaphysics accessible and engaging without sacrificing rigor Cody Gilmore, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
