Recensione
'Colin McGinn is one the most intellectually energetic and engaging philosophers writing today and it's marvellously refreshing to read the philosophical story told in this autobiographical manner' Dr Jonathan Miller
'Absorbing ... he takes up philosophical questions with admirable lucidity' WALL STREET JOURNAL
'A superb intellectual autobiography ... McGinn offers one of the best inrtoductions to contemporary Anglo-American philosophy.' Nicholas Fearn, NEW STATESMAN
'This honest, entertaining Bildungsroman guides us through a huge sweep of twentieth-century philosophy as McGinn discovers it, from Descartes doubting of the existence of minds other than his own, to Sartre's thesis that existence precedes essence. McGinn also charts the development of his own philosophical theories with infectious enthusiasm.
As well as offering a passionate potted history of philosophy, McGinn shows how it is possible to beat the odds and become what you most yearn to be'
Observer 12/10
'This is possibly the best and most lucid introduction to contemporary philosophy you are likely to find'
Sunday Express 1/2
