Rezensionen

'The nearest thing to a systematic philosophy written by one who does not believe in systems of philosophy. Its scope is encyclopedic...a joy to read.' - New York Times

'His intelligibility comes of stating things directly as he himself seems them, sharply defined and readily crystallized in the best English philosophical style.' - The Times Literary Supplement
