From Library Journal
Wilson was Stuart Professor of Philosophy at Princeton for many years prior to her recent death. Her writing career spanned more than three decades, during which she was a regular contributor to journals. Of the 31 articles included here, 29 have appeared elsewhere; "The Issue of `Common Sensibles' in Berkeley's New Theory of Vision" appears for the first time, while "True and Immutable Natures" has only appeared previously in a Portuguese translation. The articles discuss various elements in the work of six seminal early modern philosophersADescartes, Spinoza, Kant, Leibniz, Berkeley, and LockeAand are fairly evenly divided among those writers, with several comparative pieces. The essays in this collection are of a high scholarly quality and are a good representation of the development and directions of Wilson's work. Recommended for all libraries with collections in modern philosophy.ATerry C. Skeats, Bishop's Univ. Lib., Lennoxville, Quebec
