Reviews

a rich and innovative study ... full of bold, iconoclastic views ... detailed arguments for these views and against competing ones, and careful discussion of possible objections. Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews a mind-boggling effort to overthrow many philosophical orthodoxies and received wisdoms. Organon


<br> Christopher Gauker's new book is a rich and innovative study of the nature of conceptual thought, its relation to language, the relation between concepts and perception, and the place of imagistic thinking in cognition. --Edouard Machery, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews<p><br>
