Reviews

Priest has provided a very clear and honest accounting of what has been overlooked-non-existents. His book is clearly written and welcome reading. Jim Kow, Metapsychology Online Reviews


Review from previous edition Priest is a gifted writer, and the book percolates with interesting ideas ... a refreshingly bold attempt to overcome long-standing obstacles to unrestricted characterization of non-existant objects. While philosophers of any area will profit from the book, there are some for whom, arguably, Priest's book is required reading: namely, metaphysicians, philosophers of language, and philosophical logicians. JC Beall, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
