"Dummett is clear and concise."

Review
Dummett is clear and concise. (The Philosophers' Magazine )

An impressive collection by one of the most influential of living English philosophers ... Reading him, one has the impression of being at the hub of the discussion in the philosophy of language and his points in other areas are invariably authoritative and original. It is welcome as an elaborate and useful contribution to contemporary philosophical thinking. (History and Philosophy of Logic )

His observations are of great interest ... The publishers should be thanked for making it less likely that these important papers will escape the attention of philosophers. (International Philosophical Quarterly )
