Recenzii
'This book is written with obvious enthusiasm and a deep, and frequently expressed, conviction of the essential correctness of the view it seeks to promote.'Bob Hale, University of St Andrews. THES
'This is what philosophy ought to be: a grand vision combined with original and careful work on the details. It is presented with lucidity and modesty and good humour, and bedazzling technicalities. An admirable book.'David Lewis, Princeton University, Australasian Journal of Philosophy
