Reviews
This is one of the most extensive treatments of individuation in any language. -Robert J. Spitzer, Seattle University Gracia has assembled an impressive group of scholars to discuss the work of leading medieval figures on the problem of individuation. All sixteen contributors are seasoned scholars. They speak authoritatively in a field that requires considerable learning and linguistic ability. No major medieval philosopher or school has been neglected. It is amazing that Gracia has been able to marshall the talent represented. - Jude P. Dougherty, Dean, The Catholic University of America I read through every page of it and I was not disappointed. It fills a real gap with regard to knowledge of the problem and its history in the development of metaphysics. -Oliva Blanchette, Boston College
