Overview
Swimming against the current tide of analytic philosophy and relativism, In Defense of Metaphysics aims to demonstrate the necessary existence of absolute philosophical truths. The author invites Kant, Ayer, Poincare, and Quine to participate in four dialogues, which present and attack those modern trends that reject metaphysics.Editorials

Arguing that the recent empiricist attacks on synthetic apriori are attacks on classical metaphysics as a whole, Yuval (philosophy, U. of Haifa, Israel) sets out the empiricist arguments one by one and attempts to discredit them. He limits his weapons to two philosophical precepts: that absolute truths exist, and that at least some of them must be synthetic apriori, that is discoverable only by metaphysical means.
