Summary:
Theodore Sider presents a vision of metaphysics centred on the idea of structure. To describe the world we must use concepts that 'carve at the joints', so that conceptual structure matches reality's structure. This approach illuminates a wide range of topics, such as time, modality, ontology, and the status of metaphysics itself.
