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

".engaging, accessible, and up–to date introductory volume....The extensive reading guides at the end of each chapter are excellent... 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
