Reviews

While dealing with the various paradoxes, the book contributes to our understanding of logic, metaphysics, philosophy of mathematics, physics, and religion ... This book is a model for how to deal with paradoxes and raises the bar for their philosophically sophisticated treatments. * Mark Zelcer, Metascience *
