Lucid, witty, erudite, and wise.

Highly recommended! -- A. C. Grayling A clear, comprehensive, and witty tour of the terrain. -- William Irwin - Professor of Philosophy, King's College Pennsylvania Rich, comprehensive and provocative, with illustrative examples that are original and stimulating... altogether a fine and authoritative introduction to the subject. -- Michael Clark - Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, University of Nottingham A must-read.
