"Robert C. Koons and Timothy H. Pickavance have masteredthe art of succinct and non-technical digression. They are to becommended for their clear summaries. And, most important, theywrite in a way that invites readers to make up their own mindswithout attempting to conceal their own conclusions. As a resultthey have written a refreshingly different introduction tometaphysics, which I highly recommend."
Peter Forrest, University of New England
