This book is a kaleidoscope of perspectives on consciousness. Thanks to the editors' even-handed choice of essays, it makes vivid some of the conflicting positions and approaches philosophers adopt. Philosophical Quarterly, 2005; 'impressively erudite ... Kuenne's development of his own account of truth, like his discussion of nihilism, is intertwined with a detailed survey and rich critique of competing historical and contemporary views... He has something to offer on a wide range of issues ...The book would be a nice choice of text for a graduate seminar or reading group ... Overall, Kuenne's book constitutes a useful and substantial addition to the existing literature on truth' Alexander Miller, Mind; ... it would be difficult to find a more comprehensive treatment of its subject. The book excels not only in this respect but also in clarity and thoroughness of exposition, and in the generosity, even chivalry, with which rejected views are treated - though they are dispatched no less decisively for that. It would be folly to claim, on behalf of any work on a major topic of philosophical contention, that it is a definitive treatment of its subject. But Conceptions of Truth seems to me to come as close to this merely regulative ideal as any work known to me. P. F. Strawson, Times Literary Supplement; ... thorough, clear, and well-argued ... In its scope and clarity the book should rightly become the standard text for an introductory graduate seminar on truth. Anyone new to the topic will do well to turn to it, and the expert will benefit both from Kunne's setting of the issues and from his detailed contributions ... I recommend Conceptions of Truth most highly. Douglas Patterson, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
