E. J. Lowe reviews this collection of essays in analytic metaphysics by John Hawthorne. Of particular note are Lowe's comments about the debt owed to David Lewis by Hawthorne (and indeed, by most other metaphysicians writing today). Lowe also offers a critique of Hawthorne's love for the doctrine of 'plenitude,' according to which 'we should supplement the ontology of common sense with a range of additional objects whose existence we recognize on grounds of parity.'
