Editorial Reviews

Review

Gary Drescher thinks that attempts to solve the deep problems that have stumped philosophers since time immemorial―or have caused them to resort to silly answers―have been thwarted largely by a set of relatively simple yet significant misunderstandings in logic and physics. He is right about that, and his careful debunking and explanations are clear and compelling. He also believes that by avoiding these errors, he has found solutions to the weightiest of those problems―in particular, the true nature of right and wrong and the true nature of subjective sensation and consciousness. Of that, I am not convinced. But in making the attempt, he has provided a valuable and entertaining introduction to rational thinking in a variety of fields.

David Deutsch, University of Oxford, author of The Fabric of Reality
