Recensione

'The great merit of this book is that it grasps philosophical problems at that critical stage when they are just casting off their connexions with everyday life, just about to launch on their long academic flight, and that it attempts to deal with them then and there, before they can become airborne. Brisk, homely and almost practical, it really challenges everyone to try to be his own philosopher ... the peculiar, penetrating simplicity of this kind of philosophy is exceedingly hard to achieve.' The Times Literary Supplement

Descrizione del libro

Professor Ryle's aim is to arbitrate between pairs of theories which compete for our allegiance, and to show that the either/or which they seem to insist on is a false dilemma.
