Reviews
Belot explores a central metaphysical question concerning the ontology of space. Much has been written about the substantivalist / relationalist controversy; Belot's book provides a new take on it. . . . Quite apart from its appeal as a book that contains some wonderful and witty philosophical analysis, it is readable just for its lovely exposition of examples from geometry. It has something for almost everyone and ought to be a staple for philosophers interested in philosophy of space and time, metaphysics, philosophy of physics, or geometry. * Carolyn Brighouse, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews * It offers a well-motivated contribution to a philosophical debate of great historical significance. * Karim Thebault, Philosophy in Review *
