'This book largely hits its target and is useful not only for students of philosophy, but also for a broader audience. The authors deserve special praise ... for the broader context offered than in similar books [and] also for a coherent structure and explanatory scope that are both intellectually challenging. History... offers a reader the prospect of answers to central and fundamental questions that are desperately needed in the current era ... an ambitious and potentially powerful book.' - Thesis Eleven
