Description Readers' comments
During the last decades, the research and the debate in analytic metaphysics developed mainly in two different directions: branching out into more and more specific inquiries on the one hand, and comparing general meta-metaphysical models, questioning the methodology, the scope, and the aim of metaphysical inquiry on the other hand. Among these philosophical approaches, particularly relevant are the Quinean quantificational and the neo-Aristotelic grounding approaches. This paper aims at offering a first methodological guide within the debate in contemporary analytic metaphysics. The idea is that every critical reconstruction of this debate has to acknowledge the distinction among the spectrum of definitions of a metaphysical debate and the auto-representation that a philosopher may give of the same debate when she tries to provide it with a solution. In order to show the meta-metaphysical influence over the redefinition of metaphysical issues, we focus on the debate between endurantism and perdurantism concerning the persistence of material entities. keywords Analytic Metaphysics, Meta-Metaphysics, Willard V.O.
