First published in 1968, this text remains the most compelling, comprehensive statement of the view that the mind is material. In the preface to this new edition, the author reflects on the book's impact in the light of recent debates.

In this important study David Armstrong offers a comprehensive system of analytical metaphysics that synthesizes but also develops his thinking over the last twenty years. Armstrong's analysis, which acknowledges the 'logical atomism' of Russell and Wittgenstein, makes facts (or states of affairs, as the author calls them) the fundamental constituents of the world, examining properties, relations, numbers, classes, possibility and necessity, dispositions, causes and laws. All these, it is argued, find their place and can be understood inside a scheme of states of affairs. This is a comprehensive and rigorously this-worldly account of the most general features of reality, argued from a distinctive philosophical perspective, and it will appeal to a wide readership in analytical philosophy.

'Why did the window break when it was hit by the stone? Because the window is brittle and the stone is hard; hardness and brittleness are powers, dispositional properties or dispositions.'. Dispositions are essential to our understanding of the world. This book is a record of the debate on the nature of dispositions between three distinguished philosophers - D. M. Armstrong, C. B. Martin and U. T. Place - who have been thinking about dispositions all their working lives. Their distinctive accounts cover many of the issues surrounding dispositions such as the nature of mind, matter, universals, existence, laws of nature and causation. Dispositions illuminates this central topic in analytic philosophy and at the same time highlights deeper concerns of metaphysics.

D. M. Armstrong is an eminent Australian philosopher whose work over many years has dealt with such subjects as the nature of possibility, concepts of the particular and the universal, causes and laws of nature, and the nature of human consciousness. This collection of essays, all specially written for this volume, explores the many facets of Armstrong's work, concentrating on his more recent interests. There are four sections to the book: possibility and identity, universals, laws and causality, and philosophy of mind. The contributors comprise an international group of philosophers from the United States, England, and Australia. An interesting feature of the volume is that Armstrong himself has written responses to each of the essays. There is also a complete bibliography of Armstrong's writings. The volume will be essential reading for metaphysicians and philosophers of mind, as well as for epistemologists and philosophers of science.

Armstrong talks about his reasons for taking up the study of philosophy; influence of John Anderson on his political thinking; experiences at Oxford and Birkbeck College, London University and his Melbourne University appointment. He then talks about his appointment to the Challis Chair of Philosophy at Sydney University in 1964 and his particular fields of philosophy :- metaphysics, epistemology and philosophy of the mind. Armstrong then discusses Knopfelmacher and the opposition to his appointment; involvement with "Quadrant"; Philosophy Dept's split into two depts and his views on the future of philosophy.

In contemporary metaphysics the struggle between realism and nominalism is apparent and important, but it tends to overshadow the struggle within realism itself. As a realist, D.M. Armstrong is very aware of this internal struggle and forms a theory of universals at the heart of this issue. His theory is based on the naturalistic notion that the physical universe is all that there is. This naturalism leads him to formulate the Principle of Instantiation, stating that all universals must be instantiated in a particular. That is, there can be no universals that are uninstantiated and thus reside in what has become known as a "Platonic heaven". Many other realists challenge the Principle of Instantiation and claim that realism yields a Platonic realm of the Forms that houses all universals. These other realists also argue that contrary to Armstrong's view realism is not compatible with naturalism. In this paper, I argue that Armstrong's theory of universals has the resources to resist this criticism. I will show that by adopting his theory of universals, the combination of realism and naturalism is attainable. Along with this combination and the Principle of Instantiation, Armstrong maintains a legitimate theory, which holds strength within this metaphysical debate.
