"""Robert Neville is a singular figure in American philosophy. At a time when few believe it possible or productive to undertake a truly systematic approach to philosophical reflection, Neville has consistently shown us how it can and should be done. He is deeply engaged in contemporary conversations about purely philosophical issues, but also about the implications his philosophy has for contemporary social, theological, and more broadly, religious reflection. I can think of almost no one who has his range, and this collection of essays will serve as a helpful and accessible introduction to the scale and scope of his vision."" — Warren G. Frisina, Hofstra University ""The ontological creative act is Robert Neville's key hypothesis, familiar to his many readers. But here it is presented with more lucidity than any place else. I like best of all the comparative dimension he brings to his study of philosophy and religion."" — Nancy Frankenberry, Dartmouth College"
