"How could anyone fail
to
rejoice in
the walk this book takes us on about
the world of the great questions–
our identity; why is there anything;
foundations of knowledge; free will;
and the roots of ethics. Nozick
introduces us
to
the best thinking
of our time."

ered of interest
to
philosophers
alone."
