Reviews
"`This is an impressive collection by one of the most influential of living English philosophers ... Reading him, one has the impression of being at the hub of the discussion in the philosophy of language and his points in other areas are invariably authoritative and original. It is welcome as an elaborate and useful contribution to contemporary philosophical thinking.' History and Philosophy of Logic `Those interested in the foundations of mathematics and logic will find Dummett's discussion of ""indefinitely extensible concepts"" of interest.' The Modern Schoolman `His observations are of great interest ... The publishers should be thanked for making it less likely that these important papers will escape the attention of philosophers.' International Philosophical Quarterly `This collection brings together Dummett's mature thoughts on topics with which he has wrestled for years, along with reflections on a few new themes and applications of his ideas to the contemporary literature. The papers all bear the mark of the power, depth, and originality characteristic of Dummett's work. This book is essential for anyone seriously interested in the philosophy of language or metaphysics. Those who choose to ignore it because they dislike its conclusions will do so to their disadvantage.' Australasian Journal of Philosophy"
