Trade Review"Very clearly written, in a plain, accessible, and attractive way and in a style and manner that is approachable and engaging to a high degree. Students will gain a clear and secure sense of a good and effective mode of philosophical discussion and assessment, where positions are presented, analysed and evaluated in a non-dogmatic, non-programmatic way, in careful, open and palpably honest fashion, acknowledging that there can always be more to be said, and that avenues always remain to be explored. It deserves to become a firmly established text for students of this topic." N. J. H. Dent, Professor of Philosophy, University of Birmingham
