Rezensionen

"This book explores the major themes of what C.I. Lewis's called his 'conceptual pragmatism', the Pragmatic a-priori and the Given element in experience, as they appear in his brilliant Mind and The World Order, and his contributions to Logic leading up to that work. These essays bring Lewis's views into confrontation with other giants of age such as Carnap, Friedman, Goodman, Putnam, Quine, Russell, Sellars, and Sheffer, producing conversations crucial for understanding Lewis's role in the emergence of philosophy as we understand it today."-Eric Dayton, University of Saskatchewan, Canada
