Reviews

A fascinating survey of the status of many philosophical conundrums, and as thought-provoking a book as one could hope to find. Sunday Telegraph A valuable book by a substantial contributor to the philosophical literature on paradoxes. The outlines of problems combine accuracy with clarity and manage to cover technical background material with impressive economy and simplicity. It offers fair summaries of opposing views, along with cogent criticism and sharp, penetrating analysis. - James Cargile, University of Virginia A comprehensive survey of central contemporary debates about many of the logical paradoxes; but it is much more than that. It first organizes our notion of 'paradox', putting the rest of the book into a clear perspective, before going on to contribute in a masterful way to the arguments currently running in each of those debates. It is a gripping read and most persuasive. - Hartley Slater, University of Western Australia
