'The chapters are of a uniformly high quality and many are written by luminaries in their fields ... ' - James Ladyman, senior lecturer in philosophy, Bristol University, The Times Higher Education Supplement'The collection really comes into its own in terms of the breadth of subjects covered and the depth of discussion. Few other introductions contain such detailed discussions; even fewer do so while covering such a range of subjects.' - Chris Lindsay, University of Glasgow"This book offers an excellent resource both for the undergraduate and for the early graduate student, as it can serve to fill in lacunae and round out their philosophical education. Anyone taking a beginning class in a field represented by one of the chapters would be extremely well advised to read the chapter on that field both before and after the semester. Courses often get bogged down among philosophical trees; this book will force the student to notice the forest." -- Marc Zelcer, City College, City University of New York, Teaching Philosophy
