Review:

As an entrY to the work of the Constructivist School ordan's book fulfils its ambition admirably.

his book deserves to be successful in its task of making Schwemmer's thought better known in the English-speaking milieu; the salient ideas of Schwemmer's practical philosophy are disclosed accurately, elegantly, and clearly for discussion. (Thomas A. Kelly)

This excellent book...will be of interest to the specialist and non-specialist alike.
