Review Quotes: "This is an excellent collection of essays on the wide-ranging work of one of the most significant and original philosophers of our day. They raise some fundamental questions about McDowell's views on a variety of topics, to which his own exemplary responses provide extremely valuable further elaboration and development of his thought." Bill Brewer, University of Warwick
