Review
- P.F. Strawson, "Times Literary Supplement" " The subtlety and skill, the range, depth and power of the arguments deployed in Schiffer's book are such as will be expected by any philosopher acquainted with his previous work. That is to say they are truly impressive... Schiffer's book is probably the most significant work in the field that has appeared for a good many years." - P.F.
