Review

"One of the clearest and most accessible discussions of the main tenets of 'analytic' philosophy."--Chris Slupik, University of Wisconsin--Oshkosh

"Excellent introduction to contemporary Anglo-American philosophy."--Manuel Davenport, Texas A & M

"Thorough, concise, easy to read. An excellent thought-provoking primer for an advanced undergraduate course on current problems in metaphysics."--S.N. Fratantaro, Providence College

"I used this book because I wanted students to have something solid and meaty to work on in the way of philosophical argumentation. After they had mastered the nuts and bolts of reasoning, I found the encounter with a mature thinker very satisfying."--Mary M. Mulhern, Drexel University

"The book provides a valuable account of contemporary analytic philosophy and consequently would be useful to upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty members who are unfamiliar with the analytic tradition in philosophy."--Choice
