Freydberg's newest contribution ... is not to be overlooked. The economy and grace of its presentation reveal it to be the product of a long meditation motivated by genuine concern for philosophy in its current, rather precarious state. - The Bibliographia

Freydberg's text is full of insights on Hume both small and large, insights borne out of many years of reading and thinking about Plato and the imagination. With gusto and grace, the book functions as a bold challenge to rethink both Hume himself and Hume's relation to the tradition of Continental philosophy. We would do well to heed the challenge. - Research in Phenomenology ...Bernard Freydberg's work displays a rare combination of synoptic measure-taking and close exegesis. His subjects are consistent with his allegiance to the Continental tradition, but his style bears the compact precision typically ascribed to Analytic philosophy. His readings are decisive and novel, yet kept within the limits of demonstrable warrant. No point is belabored, but every sentence has the feel of great labor behind it. - Comparative and Continental Philosophy Freydberg's newest contribution ... is not to be overlooked. The economy and grace of its presentation reveal it to be the product of a long meditation motivated by genuine concern for philosophy in its current, rather precarious state. - The Bibliographia
