PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Ferenc Huoranszki is Professor of Philosophy at the Central European University (Vienna Campus), Austria.
This book makes a worthwhile contribution to a serious ongoing debate in metaphysics. At times brilliant, The Metaphysics of Contingency has novel and challenging wisdom to offer on the nature and role of dispositions and powers that will interest both the Aristotelian and the Humean alike. Huoranszki's account provides a worthy addition to a growing contemporary literature. --Stephen Mumford, Professor of Philosophy, Durham University, UK Your coffee mug could have gotten broken when you accidentally dropped it on the floor this morning. Thank goodness it didn't! But what makes it the case that there was such a contingent possibility? Ferenc Huoranszki's book offers a fresh, engaging and valiantly defended contribution to the current debate on this topic. --Anna Marmodoro, Professor of Philosophy at Durham University and Associate Member of the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Oxford, UK
