Reviews

'... an impressive achievement, contains penetrating insight, is clearly written, and carefully argued.' George Lazaroiu, Review of Contemporary Philosophy


'... an impressive achievement, contains penetrating insight, is clearly written, and carefully argued.' George Lazaroiu, Review of Contemporary Philosophy ...Overall, this anthology is a welcome addition to the growing literature on ground. Reading it left me with the impression that, while our understanding of ground is still in its infancy and many important open questions remain to be answered (or even addressed), ground has nevertheless earned its stripes as a subject worthy of study.... the quality of the anthology as a whole is good.... no one working on ground should miss this book. It should also be of interest to those working on metametaphysical questions about the nature, status, and methodology of metaphysics. Even those interested in seemingly peripheral philosophical questions plausibly formulated in terms of ground might deepen their understanding of them by deepening their understanding of ground itself. --Michael J. Raven, University of Victoria/University of Washington, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews ...Metaphysical Grounding: Understanding the Structure of Reality is an impressive achievement, contains penetrating insight, is clearly-written, and carefully-argued. ---George Lazaroiu, PhD, Institute of Interdisciplinary Studies in, Humanities and Social Sciences, New York, Review of Contemporary Philosophy
