“[Miller] uses argument, aphorism, and plays on words to make points. . . .[A] fascinating. . . book.” ―Library Journal
Miller addresses here the theory of knowledge, the problem of cognition, the age-old questions of whether universals are real or are 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.
John William Miller (1895-1978) taught at Williams College, and he is well known for his extraordinary teaching (described in Masters: Portraits of Great Teachers).
