Reviews

MacFarlanes account is penetrating and very, very subtle, and his defense of it is a tour de force * Diana Raffman, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research * ... a masterful book that is both more original and more carefully crafted than the average contemporary philosophy book. * Max Kolbel, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Online *


MacFarlanes book is a fascinating book, highly recommended to any philosopher interested in philosophy of language, formal semantics, epistemology, meta-ethics and beyond. It will serve as a springboard for future work both about relativism, as well as particular domains of application. * Christos Kyriacou, Dialectica * MacFarlanes account is penetrating and very, very subtle, and his defense of it is a tour de force * Diana Raffman, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research * ... a masterful book that is both more original and more carefully crafted than the average contemporary philosophy book. * Max Kolbel, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Online *
