Review of Metaphysics 14 (1):169-170 (1960)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

Thirteen studies provide a good introduction to some of the leading theorists of the period in question. Despite multiple authorship this book is even in its style and penetration of subject-matter. While the historical authors are frequently allowed to speak for themselves, the present authors have not failed to generalize and evaluate in the interest of clarity. There are 58 pages of notes. --J. E. M.
