Book Synopsis
This text is an examination of what it means to say "No". Eva Brann considers the different forms "No" takes, such as a resistance of will or as a preventative measure or warning, and argues that to understand something of imagination, memory and time an inquiry should be made into what "No" means.

Trade Review
Brann's account of the negative is a useful and worthwhile addition to the philosophical shelves, and it is to be hoped that it inspires more work on the issue. * Philosophy in Review *
