Reviews

This is a beautiful book. It is clearly and elegantly written, it addresses questions that are both large and important, and it defends bold and well thought-out answers to them. For those who are persuaded by its argument, the book is potentially life-changing. -- Professor Wes Morriston, University of Colorado, USA This is a breathtakingly original book. Whether or not you accept Maitzen's rationalism and commitment to determinism, this is an extremely rich and insightful study of their implications. It has deeply influenced how I think about counterfactuals, regret, and death - the most exciting discussion of these topics that I have read in ages, clearly and engagingly written. Whether or not you are (and always were) determined to read it, you should. -- Professor Alan Hajek, Australian National University.
