Philosophical questions regarding the nature and methodology of philosophical inquiry have garnered much attention in recent years. Perhaps nowhere are these discussions more developed than in relation to the field of metaphysics.
The Routledge Handbook of Metametaphysics is an outstanding reference source to this growing subject. It comprises thirty-eight chapters written by leading international contributors, and is arranged around five themes:
• The history of metametaphysics
• Neo-Quineanism (and its objectors)
• Alternative conceptions of metaphysics
• The epistemology of metaphysics
• Science and metaphysics.
Essential reading for students and researchers in metaphysics, philosophical methodology, and ontology, The Routledge Handbook of Metametaphysics will also be of interest to those in closely related subjects such as philosophy of language, logic, and philosophy of science.

J.T.M. Miller is a philosopher based at the University of Nottingham, UK. From July 2020, he will be Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Durham University, UK.
