The problem of absolute generality has attracted much attention in recent philosophy.

Rezensionen

Rayo and Uzquiano have put together a fine collection of essays on this knotty issue.... The volume starts with a brief introduction by the editors, which nicely sets the scene. As one would expect from a bunch of logicians of this calibre, the essays are insightful, thought provoking, and often technically clever. Graham Priest, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
