Reviews

`an interesting book ... in terms of price, organization, clarity of expression, accuracy of content, and the provision of further reading and other aids to the student it is a model of its kind ... it is also an original work of philosophy in its own right' The Philosophical Quarterly `The book strikes a nice balance between exposition of standard material and the development of the author's own position. There is much in it to admire.' History and Philosophy of Logic
