This book is an edited collection of essays in celebration of the centenary of Samuel
Alexander's Space, Time and Deity, published in 1920. Samuel Alexander (1859-1938)
was a leading figure of British philosophy in the early twentieth century. He was
partly responsible for the new realism movement along with G.E. Moore and Bertrand
Russell. However, his work has been overlooked in developments of twentieth century
philosophy and yet his theories and style of theorising are in vogue. This book begins
with three previously unpublished papers by Alexander that shed light on his metaphysical
commitments about time, universals, God, knowledge of past truths, grounding, and
inference in logic and science. There are also two important posthumous chapters by
philosophers of the mid-twentieth century, who elaborate on his life and most significant
contributions. The second half of the book contains new essays by current scholars,
discussing Alexander on metaphysical realism, idealism, naturalism, space and time,
process ontology, ontological categories, epistemology, perception, philosophy of
history, emergentism, and empiricism
