Reviews

“This book is truly an immense contribution to the philosophical literature on relations, and will undoubtedly be a touchstone for researchers in this area for years to come.” The Philosophical Quarterly “This monograph is a meticulously detailed and systematic discussion of the ontology of relations . . . It moves discussions of the ontology of relations forward on a number of different axes, and in its often-scrupulous attention to detail, it provides a model for how to approach these issues.” Ratio
