«What I like about the approach which Sunnie and Jim Kidd have been developing is its perfect balance in this regard: It is about real subjects knowing real objects in real situations, reflected upon in such a way that it is difficult to ignore or downplay any dimension of subject, object, or setting. I find they have a superb sense of that balance which makes up the true style of human knowing and activity and they have a respect for what is given that is tarnished by no 'parti pris', they have no ideological axe to grind.» (Thomas Langan, University of Toronto) «It is not too much to say that this is a highly conscientious piece of scholarly work; it is one full of ingenuity, originality, and insight. It serves for any and every 'human' as the subtitle indicates, for both the academic and non-academic alike. It may seem to be deceptively lucid and clear in the way of exposition; yet for those who look beyond the surface into what stands behind, it is enlighteningly thought-provocative. Had it not been for the author's modesty, the work itself could well have been subtitled as the 'Applied Logic of the Humanities'...» (George C.H. Sun, Dialogue and Humanism)
