Review
"An extremely tough, polished, and altogether stimulating piece of work." (New York Review of Books)
"This is a powerful and challenging work, skilfully organised and presented with economy, clarity, and style."---Bernard Mayo, Philosophical Books
"Nagel's book is not a criticism of anybody else's book, nor a footnote to anybody else's theory. It is independent and clear, and very original." (Times Literary Supplement)
