"Very informative." — Library Journal

"Dummett's passionate advocacy for philosophy's continuing relevance and his defense of the field against the encroaching tendencies of physics and neurological science are never less than compelling." — Publishers Weekly

"Michael Dummett is among our foremost living philosophers. The fact that he says these things makes them important enough for the philosophical world, and the world itself, to take note. There is no question of the importance of this book." — Randall E. Auxier, editor, The Library of Living Philosophers
