`Review from previous edition This book is a splendid tour de
force, one which should be read by every philosopher...'
Alan Weir, Philosophical Quarterly
`clever, resourceful, undogmatic, unpretentious, often sensible and
usually clear over a wide range of issues'
Timothy Williamson, British Journal for the Philosophy of
Science
`highly entertaining and provocative... an engaging and instructive
tour through some of the most perplexing features of our own
conceptual finitude...'
A. W. Moore, Times Literary Supplement
`Graham Priest combines a deep philosophical appreciation of
fundamental logical issues with a marvelously informed reading of
both the history of philosophy and contemporary texts. His work is
ambitious and insightful... The book is an ambitious attempt to do
important philosophical work across major borders - borders of the
formal and philosophical, the historical and the contemporary, the
Analytical and the Continental traditions. In [this] regard it
is
a resounding success.'
Patrick Grim, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research
