Reviews

"The original style and voice is coupled with an impressive grasp of a wide range of texts in the history of Western philosophy and the ability to draw out new aspects from them … This is a rich, learned and complex book deserving of careful study and close reading." — Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

"This book will be a great boon for advanced students in philosophy." — San Francisco Book Review

"This is a highly original, speculative, and deeply learned metaphysical treatise on the basic categories of existence needed to account for human experience of the world. It contributes to the contemporary metaphysical discussion in Western philosophy by adding a new, intelligent, and interesting voice." — Robert Cummings Neville, author of Ultimates: Philosophical Theology, Volume One
