About this title

Synopsis:

"Miller uses argument, aphorism, and plays on words to make points. . . . [A] fascinating . . . book." ―Library Journal

Miller addresses here to theory of knowledge, the problem of cognition, the age-old questions of whether universals are real or names only, of how one distinguishes between appearance and reality, of how subject and object can be brought together without one swallowing up the other.

About the Author:
