Review:
It is important for you, whoever you are, to read...this book.
Nozick is "a theorist with a style and a method of his own, and ideas as bold as they are bright."
İNozick is¨ a theorist with a style and method of his own, and ideas as bold as they are bright. -- Maurice Cranston "Washington Post Book World"
It is not surprising that Nozick has a following. He does not come at the reader with heavy solemnity. His prose style is insouciant, his manner whimsical, and he gives every indication of having lots of fun.
İThis¨ remarkable new book...brings a reader into immediate and unmistakable contact with an uncommon mind. The clarity of İNozick's¨ style mirrors the lucidity of his thought...This is a major book. -- Robert Taylor "Boston Globe"
"Philosophical Explanations" "will attract intelligent people of all backgrounds...Nozick is moved by a splendid passion...His arguments link his explanations to what he is rightly confident of his vision of a persistent role for philosophy in common life.
An important book...İNozick is¨ a philosopher who is answering the questions posed by such philosophers as Kierkegaard, Sartre, Marcel and Buber with the aid of tools produced by such very different philosophers as W. V. Quine, Saul Kripke and Hilary Putnam...İHe displays a¨ striking and imaginative originality. For he does nothing less than propose a new way of doing philosophy...Perhaps one good way for the serious general reader to attack this often difficult but always rewarding book would be to begin at the end. First read the fine last chapter on 'Philosophy and the Meaning of Life'...It should then be very clear why it is important for you, whoever you are, to go back and read the rest of this book. -- Alasdair MacIntyre "New York Times Book Review"
