Reviews

Mukherji's volume is very rich, bringing together a number of issues in recent/late twentieth century philosophy, without being overwhelming. ... Well written, this is an enjoyable book to read, that seeks to bring philosophical debate to a broad audience. (William Sweet, Sophia, Vol. 59, 2020)
