Reviews
a comprehensive and persuasively argued position ... exceptionally well written. * International Studies in Philosophy *
thoroughly convincing * London Review of Books *
beautifully argued * Times Literary Supplement *
it stretched me till I twanged * Craig Raine, Observer *
His style is lively, even impassioned. Best of all, he shares the reader's amusement at his own fevered combing of the text. * Australian Journal of Philosophy *
