`Unless we are very much mistaken, its lucid application and development of the great discoveries of Peano and Cantor mark the opening of a new epoch in both philosophical and mathematical thought.' - The Spectator
`It is impossible in a short review to do justice to the subtlety and originality.' - TLS
