Reviews
Boghossian writes with acuity and ingenuity and his style is clear and direct. He is prepared to challenge and rethink venerable doctrines and is also prepared to revise his own views when good arguments are brought against them. He shows admirable persistence, in returning to topics from different angles, bringing out more implications of the positions explored and the complexity of the issues. He does not at any point gloss over difficulties or pretends to more completeness or decisiveness than the material warrants. So we have here much rigorous and judicious discussion of a thought-provoking kind. Jane Heal, Analysis Reviews a wonderful collection... it is not hard to recommend this volume to philosophers interested in epistemology and the philosophy of mind or language... the essays contained in this volume are all excellent. Clayton Littlejohn, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
