Reviews

A superb book that clarifies the difficult thought of one of the towering figures of recent philosophy. - Choice Weiss provides an excellent and concise introduction to Dummett's thought, and he does more: he provides those who already have a fair acquaintance with Dummett with a very useful and provocative overview, drawing together the complex strands. - Australasian Journal of Philosophy A very good simultaneous exposition and critical evaluation of Dummett's work in the philosophies of language, logic and mathematics. It systematizes in a way that Dummett himself has been reluctant to do. - Peter Milne, University of Edinburgh
