Editorial Reviews

"A delight....Challenging and extremely interesting. It will, I am certain, provoke a good deal of exciting philosophical discussion."—Times Literary Supplement

"Well worth reading for the light it sheds on an enormous range of issues. Believe me, you'll get more out of it than you think."—The Modern Schoolman

"There are so many carefully delineated positions representing the views of classical and contemporary authors on the conceptual difficulties posed by pragmatic paradoxes, that working through Sorensen's chapters one has the sense of a complete map of the intellectual terrain."—Journal of Speculative Philosophy

"Sorensen's prose style is a marvel: some passages made me laugh out loud, others amazed me by the erudition they reflected....Blindspots is the remarkable product of a brilliant young philosopher at the height of his powers."—Nous
