Reviews
This book not only offers about the best account I have seen of what is distinctive about philosophical fictionalism, but also offers a compelling argument in favour of the authors own thoroughgoing semantic pretence version of fictionalism. A remarkable achievement. F. W. Kroon, University of Auckland
