Book by Weissman, David
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
David Weissman is Professor of Philosophy at the City College of New York.
“This work is a brilliant interpretation of Western philosophy. It is original to the core. I was struck again and again by the extraordinary comprehensiveness of the work, matched by an equally extraordinary grasp of detail. The author has totally revised my way of reading philosophers as diverse as Whitehead and Quine. The work is philosophy at its best.” ― Andrew J. Reck
“In my judgment, Weissman’s work is as close to ‘brilliance’ as that by any contemporary philosopher whom I have read. His book is clear, crisp, profound. Weissman is ‘easy reading,’ something few authors accomplish in the difficult terrain of metaphysics and epistemology. The book is an in-depth defense of a realistic theory of knowledge. His thesis rings true against the backdrop of common sense, classical philosophy, and contemporary science. He has a solid grasp of the history of Western philosophy and he displays that learning on nearly every page. He uses historical figures to create a dialogue from which he produces his own insights.” ― Jude P. Dougherty
