Exploring Philosophy Reviews

.personal introductory offering which invites the reader to observe her thought processes as she meditates the central questions. Times Literary Supplement, April

However, Almond's book has the clear benefit of focusing on issues as they are currently viewed by leading philosophers, among them Davidson, Derrida, Putnam, Quine, and Rorty. Suitable for general readers and the lower-division undergraduates. Choice
