Description
"The virtue of Haack's book, and I mean virtue in the ethical sense, is that it embodies the attitude that it exalts. . . Haack's voice is urbane, sensible, passionate-the voice of philosophy that matters. How good to hear it again."-Jonathan Rauch, Reason
"A tough mind, confident of its power, making an art of logic . . . a cool mastery."-Paul R. Gross, Wilson Quarterly
"Few people are better able to defend the notion of truth, and in strong, clear prose, than Susan Haack . . . a philosopher of great distinction."-Hugh Lloyd-Jones, National Review
"If you relish acute observation and straight talk, this is a book to read."-Key Reporter (Phi Beta Kappa)
"Everywhere in this book there is the refreshing breeze of common sense, patiently but inexorably blowing."-Roger Kimball, Times Literary Supplement
"A refreshing alternative to the extremism that characterizes so much rhetoric today."-Kirkus Reviews
