This essay is an abridged and slightly adapted version of chapter 14 of my book The Evolution of Modern Metaphysics: Making Sense of Things (Moore, 2012).1 The purpose of these opening remarks, which are not part of the original chapter, is to provide some necessary background from the rest of the book.
