Reviews

Gabriel's project of a new realist ontology effortlessly bridges the gap between continental and analytic philosophy. Altogether an enviable achievement. The work is bound to provide a strong impetus to new ways of thinking about ontological questions.--Professor Hans Sluga, William and Trudy Ausfahl Professor of Philosophy, University of California at Berkeley Markus Gabriel is one of the leaders of the revival of interest in realism in contemporary European philosophy. In this volume, he develops his own ambitious, distinctive and provocative version of the view, one that is likely to spur much discussion.--Paul Boghossian, Silver Professor of Philosophy, New York University This bold meditation breaks a new path beyond both anti-realism and metaphysical realism. Gabriel discloses senses as real ways for the things to be. Thus, he overcomes the metaphysical distinction between mind and world and makes sense of the reality of thinking as well. A huge step forward for philosophy.--Professor Jocelyn Benoist, Centre of Philosophy, Sorbonne University
