Reviews

the many specific issues explored make this a welcome addition to the literature on philosophical history, It is written with exceptional clarity and, arising as it does from teaching courses, is of a level accessible to undergraduates./Leon Pompa/The Philosophical Quaterly, 1999.
`Graham's programmatic survey of the field is conducted with sensitivity and finesse and with an openness of approach that encompasses the ideas of an exceptionally wide range of thinkers ... the variety of shrewd and suggestive insights encountered in the course of his inquiry remains, and make it well worth following.'
